About the book

The first book to examine the making of scientific knowledge in the early modern Americas from a comparative and international perspective. Connecting Atlantic history with the history of science, the chapters explore how knowledge and the colonial order were made together, through complex interactions between metropolitan travelers, Creole settlers, Amerindians, and African slaves.
