Christopher Columbus and the Genesis of New World Colonialism, 1493-96 (eBook, PDF)

An Historical Geography of his Second Voyage

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the role of geography's five themes: location, place, human-environmental interaction, movement, and region, in Christopher Colombus's second voyage. It explores the impacting events that led to deteriorating relations between Columbus, the Spanish settlers (adventurers), and the indigenous Taíno and Carib people, creating a social paradigm of confusion, displacement, destruction, and the genesis of New World Colonization.
