The volume, edited by Igor Chabrowski and Natalia Królikowska-Jedlinska, explores individual journeys of Central and Eastern Europeans that led them to venture overseas as Jesuit missionaries or employees of the Dutch East India Company. While the chapters focus on individuals, the book itself addresses early modern globalization and its social, ethnic, and political ramifications.
