520 | _aHow did “Asia” – a term originally coined by the Greeks to account for Asia “Minor” – come to designate an immense continent? At a period coeval with the Age of Discoveries, Asia emerged as one of the “four parts of the world”.

Our final argument examines how Asian elites appropriated that European notion to further their own ends. | ||
