Sommario/riassunto

Towards the end of the 16th century, when Queen Elizabeth perceived that the power of England would necessarily have to be based on the mastery of the seas, the British set sail for new horizons. The main objective of this collective work is to study the modalities of the first meetings in the "contact zones", uncertain places where the same and the other are thrown together on a stage to share.
