Mapping Ethnography in Early Modern Germany: New Worlds in Print Culture

(Palgrave Macmillan) This book looks at how German print culture mediated Europe’s knowledge of the people of Africa, South Asia, and the Americas. It shows how Europeans reacted to, and created visual representations of, these people with whom they were having new encounters and interactions. The book won the Roland H. Bainton Prize for Art History. Leitch is an associate professor of art history at Florida State University.
