The period between 1500 and 1800 was one of intense inter-imperial competition involving the Iberians, the Ottomans, the Mughals, the British, and other actors. Rather than understand these imperial entities separately, Sanjay Subrahmanyam reads their archives and texts together to show unexpected connections and refractions. He further proposes, in this set of closely argued studies, that these empires often borrowed from each other, or built their projects with knowledge of other competing visions of empire. The emphasis on connections is also crucial for an understanding of how a variety of genres of imperial and global history-writing developed in the early modern world. The book moves creatively between political, economic, intellectual, and cultural themes to suggest a fresh geographical conception for the epoch"-- OP - 457 NO - "Empires between Islam and Christianity 1500-1800" by Sanjay Subrahmanyam was first published by Permanent Black"--Title verso CN - D22 .S83 2019eb SN - 9781438474366 SN - 1438474369 SN - 9781438474359 SN - 1438474350 KW - World history.
