Synopsis
Between Worlds addresses the broadest issues of cross-cultural encounters, imperialism, and capitalism and gives them a human face., Spanning the globe and the centuries, Frances Karttunen tells the stories of sixteen men and women who served as interpreters and guides to conquerors, missionaries, explorers, soldiers, and anthropologists. These interpreters acted as uncomfortable bridges between two worlds; their own marginality, the fact that they belonged to neither world,underscores the complexity and tension between cultures meeting for the first time. The interpreters include: o Do-a Marina (La Malinche), who interpreted for Cortes in the conquest of Mexico o Sacajawea, who accompanied Lewis and Clark on their expedition o Sarah Winnemucca, a U.S. army scout and Washington lobbyist for the Northern Paiutes o Gaspar Antonio Chi, Maya Interpreter General for Yucatan o Guaman Poma de Ayala, eyewitness reporter of the destruction of Inca culture o Charles Eastman, a Sioux physician at Wounded Knee o Larin Paraske, an informant for Finnish ethnographers o Do-a Luz Jimenez, Diego Rivera's model and a native informant to anthropologists o Mar'a Sabina, the Mazatec mushroom shaman who became a celebrity in the drug culture of the 1960s o Ishi, the last surviving Yahi Indian., Spanning the globe and the centuries, Frances Karttunen tells the stories of sixteen men and women who served as interpreters and guides to conquerors, missionaries, explorers, soldiers, and anthropologists.

- m***a (261)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoThe book was in exactly the condition described in the listing. I generally don’t buy books that only have one photo.It was shipped quickly. The book arrived via Amazon box truck and was in Amazon packaging, so I assume this seller also lists books on Amazon. I wish I had known this as I am trying to not shop Amazon. I just think other buyers might want to know this. Still, the book was packed with care in a bubble envelope. Shipping costs were reasonable, but there was no tracking available.The Anne of Green Gables Cookbook by Macdonald (N° 187076052775)

I waited 4 days past expected delivery date before notifying seller. Seller reported that the item must have been list in the mail, and I received an apology and a refund the next day. Disappointed in but receiving the book, but I would definitely purchase from this seller againEtched in Stone: Archeological Discoveries that Prove the Bible by Bassett-Brody (N° 388177289478)
