Summary:
"A landmark work of narrative history that shatters our previous Eurocentric understanding of the Age of Discovery by telling the story of the
Indigenous
Americans
who journeyed across the Atlantic to
Europe
after 1492. We have long been taught to presume that modern global history began when the 'Old World' encountered the 'New', when Christopher Columbus “discovered” America in 1492. But, as Caroline Dodds Pennock conclusively shows in this groundbreaking book, for tens of thousands of Aztecs, Maya, Totonacs, Inuit and others -- enslaved people, diplomats, explorers, servants, traders -- the reverse was true: they
discovered
Europe
. For them,
Europe
comprised
savage
shores
, a land of riches and marvels, yet perplexing for its brutal disparities of wealth and quality of life, and its baffling beliefs. The story of these
Indigenous
Americans
abroad is a story of abduction, loss, cultural appropriation, and, as they saw it, of apocalypse -- a story that has largely been absent from our collective imagination of the times. From the Brazilian king who met Henry VIII to the Aztecs who mocked up human sacrifice at the court of Charles V; from the Inuk baby who was put on show in a London pub to the mestizo children of Spaniards who returned “home” with their fathers; from the Inuit who harpooned ducks on the Avon river to the many servants employed by Europeans of every rank: here are a people who were rendered exotic, demeaned, and marginalized, but whose worldviews and cultures had a profound impact on European civilization. Drawing on their surviving literature and poetry and subtly layering European eyewitness accounts against the grain, Pennock gives us a sweeping account of the
Indigenous
American presence in, and impact on, early modern
Europe
."--Publisher.
