How a system of religious beliefs made the taking of the New World possible and laudable is the focus of Kadir's timely review of the founding doctrines of empire. The language of prophecy and divine predestination fills the pronouncements of those who ventured across the Atlantic. The effects of such language and their implications for current theoretical debates about colonialism and decolonization are legion. Kadir suggests that in this supposedly postcolonial era, richer nations and the privileged still manipulate the rhetoric of conquest to justify and serve their own worldly ends. For colonized peoples who live today at the "ends of the earth," the age of exploitation may be no different from the age of exploration. 606 $aProphecy$xChristianity 607 $aAmerica$xDiscovery and exploration 607 $aEurope$xTerritorial expansion 615 0$aProphecy$xChristianity. 676 $a970.01/5 700 $aKadir$b Djelal$0241150 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495875603321 996 $aColumbus and the ends of the earth$9660794 997 $aUNINA
