商品簡介
After introducing the concept of tierra (land) as cultural as well as natural geography, Rodriguez (Spanish literatures and cultures, Ohio State U.) traces cross-cultural misunderstandings of the representation of American space that have had dire consequences historically. She examines the Carribean Islands as paradise, their transition to a hell due to the slave trade, and clashing South and Central American cultural geographies from the colonial era to the 20th century. Illustrations include maps. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
