| Abstract: |
This article focuses on the book "Under an Open Sky: Rethinking America's Past," edited by William Cronon. The essays collected in this book, attest to a similar pre-occupation with communication and commerce, across cultures. Contributor to this book, Jay Gitlin, comes closer to picturing in history the role and relevance of writer Tony Hillerman's detectives when he speaks of "imperial agents" and "agents of empire," which suggests a closely related genre, the spy novel. Interpreter and entrepreneur is picked up in other essays in this book. |
