Sample Book Insights: #1 On October 12, 1492, three small ships commanded by a Genoese sailor named Christopher Columbus pushed their way westward near a tiny island in the Bahamas. Suddenly, a lookout on the Pinta sighted a shadowy form dead ahead. #2 As Europe began to emerge from its local isolations, the feudal system was beginning to give way to the modern national state. The city was becoming an important place for trade, and as centers of trade, Europe’s cities were becoming not only powerful independent bastions, but also springboards for further economic venture. #3 The Crusades, which attempted to free the Holy Land from non-Christians, stirred Europe considerably. Transportation facilities developed rapidly when wars were fought at a distance. The merchant class, made up of ambitious and desirous of finding new sources of goods and new methods of bringing them to market, grew rapidly. #4 The upsurge in commercial life had many ramifications. Men were eager to learn more about other parts of the world, and the resulting intellectual activity sparked a renaissance in European cultural life.

Download or read book Beyond 1492 written by James Axtell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992-09-17 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this provocative and timely collection of essays--five published for the first time--one of the most important ethnohistorians writing today, James Axtell, explores the key role of imagination both in our perception of strangers and in the writing of history. Coinciding with the 500th anniversary of Columbus's "discovery" of America, this collection covers a wide range of topics dealing with American history. Three essays view the invasion of North America from the perspective of the Indians, whose land it was. The very first meetings, he finds, were nearly always peaceful. Other essays describe native encounters with colonial traders--creating "the first consumer revolution"--and Jesuit missionaries in Canada and Mexico. Despite the tragedy of many of the encounters, Axtell also finds that there was much humor in Indian-European negotiations over peace, sex, and war. In the final section he conducts searching analyses of how college textbooks treat the initial century of American history, how America's human face changed from all brown in 1492 to predominantly white and black by 1792, and how we handled moral questions during the Quincentenary. He concludes with an extensive review of the Quincentenary scholarship--books, films, TV, and museum exhibits--and suggestions for how we can assimilate what we have learned.
