Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Eltis et al highlight the Old World influences to explain the nature of societies and cultures in the Americas and assign primacy to the New World environment. In particularly, they challenge the arguments of scholars that developments in rice cultivation in the Americas were largely determined by the knowledge and skills of Africans forcibly imported from rice-cultivating areas of procolonial Africa.
