Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. 1st Edition. Hardcover, xviii + 241 pages, NOT ex-library. Interior is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Boards show creases to the corners, a touch of rubbing to the edges. Dust jacket with a couple of flap-edge tears. -- This interdisciplinary collection of essays examines the mechanisms of cultural exchange across a vast historical and geographical spectrum. The volume is structured into four thematic parts, beginning with Early Eastern Cultures, where it explores high-level diplomatic and mystical exchanges, including an analysis of the relations between Constantinople and Baghdad, the influence of Sufism in Christian Georgia, and the early modern European contact with the Persian Great Sophy. The second part, Perceptions of India, focuses on the psychological and literary dimensions of the colonial encounter. It features a notable essay on the deep-seated influence of European literature on Hindu life, alongside investigations into the shifting Western perceptions of Hindu culture and the traditional Guru-Disciple relationship. The third section, Encounters in the Modern World, provides specific 20th-century case studies, addressing the cultural tensions in post-revolutionary China, the intersection of Black culture and social inequality in Colombia, and the ethnic "clash of cultures" within the Malaysian experience. The volume concludes with Global Imperatives, a section that frames contemporary crises in ecology, population growth, and energy as the ultimate cross-cultural challenge. By bringing together historians, sociologists, and environmental scientists, the book argues that these "universal imperatives" necessitate a new form of global cooperation that transcends traditional cultural boundaries. -- Content: The Authors; Editor's Note; Forward by Robert Cecil; Part I.
