THE REDISCOVERY OF NORTH AMERICA
Five hundred years ago an Italian named Christopher Columbus came to America and began a process not of discovery but of incursion—a “ruthless, angry search for wealth”—that continues today. This provocative book draws a direct line between the atrocities of the Spanish conquistadors and the ongoing pillage of our lands and waters, and challenges us to adopt an ethic that will make further depredations impossible.
