鹰与龙:全球化与16世纪欧洲在中国和美洲的征服梦
(france) Serge Grudinsky
"The Eagle and the Dragon: Globalization and the European Dream of Conquest in China and the Americas in the 16th Century" is the third part of Professor Serge Grudinsky's "trilogy" on global history. "Eagle" refers to Mexico in the Americas, while "dragon" is a metaphor for China. In the 16th century, two countries separated by thousands of miles were simultaneously included in the global network promoted by the Iberian Peninsula. The author advocates abandoning the existing theoretical framework of country, colony and empire, abandoning the preconceived Eurocentric view, and reinterpreting the global background and significance of the Renaissance. This book provides some profound thoughts for the study of global history.
