The 500th anniversary of the voyage of Christopher Columbus spurred a host of politically motivated groups and organizations to attempt to recast the history of the Americas. Most of these revisionists use the past as a tool by which to advance politically correct goals, particularly in opposition to the US. Through books, lobbying campaigns and protests, they are seeking to turn the anniversary commemoration into an occasion for repentance rather than celebration.

The Legacy of Christopher Columbus in the Americas by Elise Bartosik-Velez Pdf
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.

This book is published by Floricanto Press.www.FloricantoPress.com Christopher Columbus wanted to prove he'd reached the edge of India. So, when he returned to Spain in 1493, he brought samples of gold, exotic plants, strange birds, and six Taíno "Indians" to the court of Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand. "Kidnapped by Columbus" is the fictional-largely accurate-historical account of the "Indians'" voyage to the Old World told through the eyes of a fourteen-year-old Native American. Columbus and his "Indians" returned to Spain at the height of the Inquisition, in the wake of the expulsion of all Jews and the final defeat of Islam in Europe. The "Indians" encounter some of the most prominent figures in history-Isabella and Ferdinand, Grand Inquisitor Tomás Torquemada, Catherine of Aragón, the ill-fated Prince Juan, and Pope Rodrigo Borgia, who issues Papal Bulls changing the boundaries of the Western Hemisphere to this day. "This cinematic novel contributes greatly to the debate over how the historical figure of Christopher Columbus should be judged today. It's a captivating read that serves as an interesting introduction to the time when the Spanish Empire was ascendant, detailing an exciting event that is under-reported by history. It puts the reader into the shoes of a native who was controversially plucked from the shores of the New World and taken to the Old World, as the globe shifted from the Pre-Columbian Era to Post-Columbian Times. But most of all it's an arresting page-turner and a good old fashioned action-packed adventure tale."-Robert Silverman, Editor-in-Chief, StatePoint Media, Inc. "This fascinating novel offers a historical perspective of the times of discovery of the New World from the eyes of a Taíno-the first natives who Columbus encountered-which gives a humanly touch and new understanding of this native culture. Marc Wilson recreates the compelling story of Enriquillo, a great leader of the natives in the Spanish conquered islands in the Caribbean, and who became a prisoner of Spain. His tale articulates a unique reality never shared before as it delves in the relationship between the native captive and the Spanish captor."-Salvador Habún, El Vocero. P.R.
