McCarthy Committee in charge: Professor Juan E. Campo, Chair Professor Kathleen M. Moore Professor Ann Taves June 2018 The dissertation of Caleb D. McCarthy is approved. _____________________________________________ Kathleen M. Moore _____________________________________________ Ann Taves _____________________________________________ Juan E. Campo, Committee Chair June 2018 Protestant Missions, Seminaries and the Academic Study of Islam in the United States Copyright © 2018 by Caleb D. McCarthy iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS While the production of a dissertation is commonly idealized as a solitary act of scholarly virtuosity, the reality might be better expressed with slight emendation to the oft- quoted proverb, “it takes a village to write a dissertation.” This particular dissertation at least exists only in light of the significant support I have received over the years. To my dissertation committee Ann Taves, Kathleen Moore and, especially, advisor Juan Campo, I extend my thanks for their productive advice and critique along the way. They are the most prominent among many faculty members who have encouraged my scholarly development. I am also indebted to the Council on Information and Library Research of the Andrew C. Mellon Foundation, which funded the bulk of my archival research – without their support this project would not have been possible. Likewise, I am grateful to the numerous librarians and archivists who guided me through their collections – in particular, UCSB’s retired Middle East librarian Meryle Gaston, and the Near East School of Theology in Beriut’s former librarian Christine Linder.

  • Chapter 10 – the First Global Age, 1400-1800 1
    Chapter 10 – The First Global Age, 1400-1800 1. Introduction Click to read caption On November 16, 1532, two worlds came face to face in the highlands of Peru. On one side was a small band of Spanish soldiers, representing the most powerful kingdom in Europe. On the other was the massive Incan army, representing the greatest empire of the Americas. Although vastly outnumbered, the Spanish used superior weapons and the element of surprise to inflict a deadly blow on the Incas. They were able to capture the Incan emperor and conquer his empire. They went on to build their own empire stretching across the Americas east to west from the Atlantic to the Pacific. A century before, these events would have been impossible for people of the time to imagine. In 1400, the people of Europe and the Americas knew nothing about each other’s lands. Much of the world was disconnected. Even large parts of Asia and Africa were shrouded in mystery for those not living there. Over the next few centuries, however, many of the geographic and cultural barriers that divided the world came down. Europeans, in particular, traveled the globe, making discoveries and conquering new lands. They created networks of trade and cultural exchange that began to bring the world together. It was the first global age. The conquest of the Americas triggered in an era of global encounters, bringing the disconnected regions of the world together. Although Europe emerged as the major political and economic force, this new power worked in connection with other emerging states such as India, China, and Persia.
