The first Europeans to arrive in North America’s various regions relied on Native women to help them navigate unfamiliar customs and places. This study of three well-known and legendary female cultural intermediaries, Malinche, Pocahontas, and Sacagawea, examines their initial contact with Euro-Americans, their negotiation of multinational frontiers, and their symbolic representation over time. Well before their first contact with Europeans or Anglo-Americans, the three women’s societies of origin—the Aztecs of Central Mexico (Malinche), the Powhatans of the mid-Atlantic coast (Pocahontas), and the Shoshones of the northern Rocky Mountains (Sacagawea)—were already dealing with complex ethnic tensions and social change. Using wit and diplomacy learned in their Native cultures and often assigned to women, all three individuals hoped to benefit their own communities by engaging with the new arrivals. But as historian Rebecca Kay Jager points out, Europeans and white Americans misunderstood female expertise in diplomacy and interpreted indigenous women’s cooperation as proof of their attraction to Euro-American men and culture. This confusion has created a historical misrepresentation of Malinche, Pocahontas, and Sacagawea as gracious Indian princesses, giving far too little credit to their skills as intermediaries. Examining their initial contact with Europeans and their work on multinational frontiers, Jager removes these three famous icons from the realm of mythology and cultural fantasy and situates each woman’s behavior in her own cultural context. Drawing on history, anthropology, ethnohistory, and oral tradition, Jager demonstrates their shrewd use of diplomacy and fulfillment of social roles and responsibilities in pursuit of their communities’ future advantage. Jager then goes on to delineate the symbolic roles that Malinche, Pocahontas, and Sacagawea came to play in national creation stories. Mexico and the United States have molded their legends to justify European colonization and condemn it, to explain Indian defeat and celebrate indigenous prehistory. After hundreds of years, Malinche, Pocahontas and Sacagawea are still relevant. They are the symbolic mothers of the Americas, but more than that, they fulfilled crucial roles in times of pivotal and enduring historical change. Understanding their stories brings us closer to understanding our own histories.

Doña Marina (La Malinche) ...Pocahontas ...Sacagawea—their names live on in historical memory because these women bridged the indigenous American and European worlds, opening the way for the cultural encounters, collisions, and fusions that shaped the social and even physical landscape of the modern Americas. But these famous individuals were only a few of the many thousands of people who, intentionally or otherwise, served as "go-betweens" as Europeans explored and colonized the New World. In this innovative history, Alida Metcalf thoroughly investigates the many roles played by go-betweens in the colonization of sixteenth-century Brazil. She finds that many individuals created physical links among Europe, Africa, and Brazil—explorers, traders, settlers, and slaves circulated goods, plants, animals, and diseases. Intercultural liaisons produced mixed-race children. At the cultural level, Jesuit priests and African slaves infused native Brazilian traditions with their own religious practices, while translators became influential go-betweens, negotiating the terms of trade, interaction, and exchange. Most powerful of all, as Metcalf shows, were those go-betweens who interpreted or represented new lands and peoples through writings, maps, religion, and the oral tradition. Metcalf's convincing demonstration that colonization is always mediated by third parties has relevance far beyond the Brazilian case, even as it opens a revealing new window on the first century of Brazilian history.

Between 1973 and 1978, six thousand Chileans leftists took refuge in central Canada after the Pinochet coup d’état. Once resettled at the northern extreme of the Americas, these political exiles had to find ways of coping with an abrupt and violent separation from their homeland that had deep material and emotional repercussions. In Young, Well-Educated, and Adaptable, Francis Peddie documents the experiences of twenty-one Chileans as they navigate their newfound identity as exiles. Peddie also considers how the admission of people from the wrong side of the Cold War ideological divide had an effect on Canadian immigration and refugee policy, establishing a precedent for the admission of political exiles over the decades that followed.

Fachbuch aus dem Jahr 2014 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Amerika, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ungewöhnliche Ureinwohnerinnen aus Amerika werden in dem Taschenbuch „Sieben berühmte Indianerinnen“ vorgestellt. Die Aztekin Malinche (1505–um 1529) gelangte als Gefährtin und Dolmetscherin des spanischen Eroberers Cortés in Mexiko zu umstrittener Berühmtheit. Pocahontas (um 1595–1618) von den Powhatan rührte als Indianer-Prinzessin aus Virginia die Herzen und tut dies heute noch. Cockacoeske (um 1634–1686) ging als „Königin von Pamunkey“ ebenfalls in die Geschichte von Virginia ein. Katerí Tekakwitha (1656–1680) von den Mohawks gebührt die Ehre, die erste selige Indianerin von Nordamerika geworden zu sein. Die Soshonin Sacajawea (um 1787–1884) genießt als mutige Teilnehmerin an der legendären „Lewis-und-Clark-Expedition“ den Ruf einer indianischen Volksheldin. Die 1809 geborene Mohongo, Ehefrau eines Osage-Häuptlings von den westlichen Sioux, erlebte als Tänzerin in Europa eine schwere Zeit. Die Apachin Lozen (1825–1880) tat sich bei den erbitterten Kämpfen ihres Bruders Victorio gegen die Weißen als tapfere Kriegerin, weise Seherin und tüchtige Medizinfrau hervor. Verfasser des Taschenbuches „Sieben berühmte Indianerinnen“ ist der Wiesbadener Autor Ernst Probst. Eine von dessen Spezialitäten sind Biografien über berühmte Frauen.
