Abstract

Rene Naville, an active diplomat and writer introduces his readers in this work to a variety of Swiss scholars who as travelers or as academicians have dealt with aspects of the native cultures of the Western Hemisphere. The study of these men is to reveal the Swiss presance in the Americans as well as Latin American and Amerindian presence in Switzerland. The auhor bases his findings mainly on secondary sources: this is an attempted synthesis, not a presentation of original new findings.
