¿Qué hora es allá? América y el Islam en los albores de la modernidad (Historia) (Spanish Edition)

From the cultural history, this work studies two texts almost contemporary: the Histoire de l Inde de l Ouest written in Istanbul in 1580 and the Repertoire of the times, published in Mexico in 1606. Gruzinski makes this two texts converse with each other through the art of cinematographic montage, where he recovers the singularities of two visions of the world, the one from Islam and the other from America, with the objective of clarifying how they were perceived and explained to the world on the dawn of the modern era. The approaches of "Qu hora es all? Invites the reader to think in global terms, without forgetting that Europe needs Islam as well as America needs Europe.
