Why is the capital of the United States named in part after Christopher Columbus, a Genoese explorer commissioned by Spain who never set foot on what would become the nation's mainland? Why did Spanish American nationalists in 1819 name a new independent republic "Colombia," after Columbus, the first representative of the empire from which they had recently broken free? These are only two of the introductory questions explored in The Legacy of Christopher Columbus in the Americas, a fundamental recasting of Columbus as an eminently powerful tool in imperial constructs. Bartosik-Velez seeks to explain the meaning of Christopher Columbus throughout the so-called New World, first in the British American colonies and the United States, as well as in Spanish America, during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. She argues that during the pre- and post-revolutionary periods, New World societies commonly imagined themselves as legitimate and powerful independent political entities by comparing themselves to the classical empires of Greece and Rome. Columbus, who had been construed as a figure of empire for centuries, fit perfectly into that framework. By adopting him as a national symbol, New World nationalists appeal to Old World notions of empire.

While Christopher Columbus's legacy may be controversial, the wave of global transformation that came after him is undeniable. After 1492, the world was irrevocably headed down a path where people, plants, animals, and even microbes, would never be the same. Readers will make insightful connections between Columbus's journey and the forces at play in their own world through project-based learning, featuring colorful photographs and special sidebars. With special care to better examine the Native American perspective, the narrative provides insight to the world that Columbus stumbled upon, not discovered.

This study provides a comprehensive critical inquiry of the exploration, conquest, and evangelization of the Americas by Spain from Columbus's first voyage to the death of Las Casas. The author examines the conflicting interpretations of Columbus and presents the narrative of conquest along with that of native resistance, genocide, and the introduction of African slavery. Traboulay also describes and analyzes the struggles, arguments, achievements, and failures of Las Casas and others. By focusing on both Columbus and Las Casas, the author seeks to present a broader perspective of the conquest without diminishing the tragedy that occurred. Contents: Preface; Columbus: The Legend; Columbus: The Enterprise of the Indies; Resistance, Death: Slavery; The Voyages: European Hegemony and World History; The Mission to Christianize; Sixteenth Century Scholasticism: The Influence of Vitoria; Alonso de la Vera Cruz, Colonial Universities, and the Rights of Native Americans; Alonso de Zorita and the Rationality of the Native Americans; Bartolome de Las Casas and the Issues of the Great Debate of 1550-51; Epilogue; Bibliography; Index.

Essay from the year 2009 in the subject American Studies - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,7, University of Leipzig (Anglistik/Amerikanistik), course: Society, History & Politics I, language: English, abstract: In October, the Americans annually honor a man named Christopher Columbus and his discoveries. Although Columbus Day is celebrated widely throughout the whole nation of the United States of America the name Columbus is linked to one of the darkest chapters of this continent. Christopher Columbus played a major role in the destruction of the population of the indigenous peoples of the New World during his first two voyages by regarding them as being humans of less worth, by being disrespectful in concern to their culture and by starting the enslavement of the native inhabitants.
