Zusammenfassung:	"This book contains a bold, multifaceted interpretation of early English imperial actions by examining the ways in which English empire-builders and travellers interacted with Indigenous and African peoples during the long process of colonization in the Americas. Ignacio Gallup-Díaz argues that early English imperial actors were primarily motivated by practical concerns rather than abstract ideologies - from reacting to, learning from and avoiding the ongoing Spanish and Portuguese imperial projects, to the dynamic collision of English imaginings of empire with the practical realities of governing non-European peoples.
