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.

Colombia, which has coasts on both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, has been a strategically important region for more than 500 years. Today, the Republic of Colombia is the fourth-largest country in South America. Many of Colombia's 40 million residents farm to survive, and coffee and other agricultural products remain the country's main legal exports. Over the past two decades the United States has helped the Colombian government crack down on its main illegal export -- cocaine and other drugs. Colombia remains one of the most important nations of Latin America. Book jacket.

For generations we learned myths about Native Americans: that they lived in widely scattered groups of hunter-gatherers and as low-level farmers, lacked science and technology, were at best simple people who had no history and never evolved, and at worst bloodthirsty savages. But groundbreaking research is destroying these myths-and altering our perceptions. In the Andes, the Inca created an empire that stretched from Chile to the frontier of Colombia and included a messenger service and food warehouses. The Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan had running water and painted streets and canals bustling with traders and religious tourists. In the Yucatan, the Maya carved whole cities out of forest; in the desert southwest, the Hohokam made the desert bloom. And throughout the hemisphere, native peoples from hundreds of distinct cultures practiced astronomy, invented the canoe and cotton clothes, transformed the Amazon into a vast orchard, and used thousands of plants-from avocado to zucchini, from corn to tobacco-destined to change the entire world.

The islands of the Caribbean are remarkably diverse, environmentally and culturally. Ranging from low limestone islands to volcanic islands with mountainous peaks, from rainforests to desert habitats, they are home to a mosaic of indigenous communities and to the descendants of Europeans, Africans, and Asians. Yet this diversity has become homogenized, for both the tourist and the historian. For instance, it was assumed that every new prehistoric culture had developed out of the culture that preceded it. Furthermore, the overly simplistic distinction between the "peaceful Arawak" and the "cannibal Carib," which forms the structure for James Michener's Caribbean, still dominates popular notions of precolonial Caribbean societies. This book documents the diversity and complexity that existed in the Caribbean prior to the arrival of Europeans, and immediately thereafter. The diversity results from different origins, different histories, different contacts between the islands and the mainland, different environmental conditions, and shifting social alliances. Organized chronologically, from the arrival of the first humans - the paleo-Indians - in the sixth millennium BC to early contact with Europeans, The Caribbean before Columbus presents a new history of the region based on the latest archaeological evidence. The authors also consider cultural developments on the surrounding mainland, since the islands' history is a story of mobility and exchange across the Caribbean Sea, and possibly the Gulf of Mexico and Florida Straits. The result is the most up-to-date and comprehensive survey of the richly complex cultures who once inhabited the six archipelagoes of the Caribbean. -- from back cover.
