Christopher Columbus and the Enterprise of the Indies : A Brief History with Documents Paperback / softback
by Geoffrey Symcox, Blair Sullivan
Part of the The Bedford Series in History and Culture series
Paperback / softback
Description
In 1492, previously separate worlds collided and new era of exploration and colonisation began.
Columbus's four Atlantic voyages (1492-1504) helped link Africa, Europe, and the Americas in a conflicted economic and cultural symbiosis.
These carefully selected documents describe the voyages and their immediate impact on Europe and the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean.
Geoffrey Symcox and Blair Sullivan's engaging introduction presents a nuanced portrait of Columbus as a significant historical actor who improvised responses to a changed world.
Document headnotes provide context for understanding Columbus's voyages within the broader context of fifteenth-century Europe and the policies of the Spanish crown.
