Inventing America : Spanish Historiography and the Formation of Eurocentrism Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

In Inventing America, Jose Rabasa presents the view that Columbus's historic act was not a discovery, and still less an encounter.

Rather, he considers it the beginning of a process of inventing a New World in the sixteenth century European consciousness.

The notion of America as a European invention challenges the popular conception of the New World as a natural entity to be discovered or understood, however imperfectly.

This book aims to debunk complacency with the historic, geographic, and cartographic rudiments underlying our present picture of the world.
