This book examines how the growth of tourism in locations that have historically been considered geographically remote plays a major role in the consolidation and transformation of often longstanding and powerful cultural imaginaries about ‘the edges of the world’. The contributors examine the attraction of the sublime, remoteness, continental border-points, and the dangers of the sea in Finisterre (or Fisterra) in Galicia (Spain); Finistère in Brittany (France); Land’s End, Cornwall (England); Lough Derg (Ireland); Nordkapp or North Cape (Norway); Cape Spear, Newfoundland (Canada); and Tierra del Fuego (Argentina). While those travelling to these locations can be seen to be conducting some form of religious or secular pilgrimage, those who live in them have long contended with the implications of economic and political marginalization within global political economies.

El principal objeto de estudio de este libro es el altepetl, o pueblo de indios, que fue la unidad política fundamental de los habitantes del México central desde tiempos prehispánicos hasta mediados de la época colonial. El análisis de sus características y su evolución, especialmente compleja en vista de las transformaciones que impuso la dominación española, se entreteje en estas páginas con la narrativa del desarrollo de los pueblos en una zona en particular, que es en términos generales la que hoy se conoce como Sierra Norte de Puebla. Esta fascinante historia de una treintena de pequeños estados semiautónomos, pues tal cosa fueron los pueblos, refleja fielmente muchos de los rasgos fundamentales de la vida de los indios y del desarrollo de algunas regiones novohispanas en los siglos XVI y XVII. Parte importante de este libro está dedicada a examinar, con riguroso apoyo documental, las condiciones y los conflictos que llevaron a los pueblos a su disgregación y a su ocaso como cuerpos políticos.

This groundbreaking work examines engagement between people and the environment across a variety of themes, from aboriginal appropriation of nature to colonistsâ reworking of physical and conceptual geographies, demonstrating the consequences of these interactions as they permeated various social and cultural spheres. It offers a new lens for viewing a region as it provides fresh insight into such topics as landscape change, perceptions of place, and Indigenous-white relations. The Fraser Valley has long been a scene of natural resource appropriation--furs and fish, timber and agriculture--with settlement patterns and land claims centering on the use of these materials. Oliver demonstrates how social change and cultural understanding are tied to the way that people use and remake the landscape. Drawing on ethnographic texts, archaeological evidence, cartography, and historical writing, he has created a deep history of the valley that enables us to view how human entanglements with landscape were creative of a variety of contentious issues. By capturing the multiple dynamics that were operating in the past, Oliver shows us not only how landscape transformations were implicated in constructing different perceptions of place but also how such changes influenced peoplesâ understanding of history and identity. The Fraser Valley in British Columbia has been viewed historically as a typical setting of Indigenous-white interaction. Jeff Oliver now reexamines the social history of this region from pre-contact to the violent upheavals of nineteenth and early twentieth century colonialism to argue that the dominant discourses of progress and colonialism often mask the real social and physical process of change that occurred here--change that can be more meaningfully tied to transformations in the land.
