Rather than a standard military history, the book examines the clash of communication systems and the European perception of \"the Other\"—the indigenous peoples of Mexico and the Caribbean. Todorov argues that the Spanish victory was not just a matter of superior weaponry, but a superior mastery of signs and human-to-human communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harper \u0026 Row, 1984","offers":[{"title":"The Conquest Of America \/ Very Good","offer_id":53250722824484,"sku":"9780060151805VG","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_a8672ea1-c126-4f70-9f7c-f48a7192a438.jpg?v=1781792930","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780060151805","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
