Tapping a wide range of sources, Kris Lane traces the complex web of global trading networks that funneled emeralds from backland South America to populous Asian capitals between the sixteenth and the eighteenth centuries. Lane reveals the bloody conquest wars and forced labor regimes that accompanied their production. It is a story of trade, but also of transformations, how members of profoundly different societies at opposite ends of the globe assigned value to a few thousand pounds of imperfectly shiny green rocks. 517 3 $aColor of paradise 606 $aEmeralds$zSpain$xColonies$xHistory 606 $aEmeralds$zColombia$xHistory 606 $aInquisition$zSpain 606 $aInquisition$zPortugal 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEmeralds$xColonies$xHistory. 615 0$aEmeralds$xHistory. 615 0$aInquisition 615 0$aInquisition 676 $a553.8/609 686 $aNN 3343$2rvk 700 $aLane$b Kris E.$f1967-$01015614 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452842403321 996 $aColour of paradise$92463742 997 $aUNINA
