Title: Native and Spanish new worlds
Description: "Spanish-led entradas--expeditions bent on the exploration and control of new territories--took place throughout the sixteenth century in what is now the southern United States. Although their impact was profound, both locally and globally, detailed analyses of these encounters are notably scarce. Focusing on several major themes--social, economic, political, military, environmental, and demographic--the contributions gathered here explore not only the cultures and peoples involved in these unique engagements but also the wider connections and disparities between these borderlands and the colonial world in general during the first century of Native-European contact in North America. Bringing together research from both the southwestern and southeastern United States, this book offers a comparative synthesis of Native-European contacts and their consequences in both regions. The chapters also engage at different scales of analysis, from locally based research to macro-level evaluations, using documentary, paleoclimatic, and regional archaeological data."--Book jacket.
