In this first book in English to focus specifically on these writings, Margarita Zamora offers an original analysis of their textual problems and ideological implications. Her comprehensive study takes into account the newly discovered "Libro Copiador," which includes previously unknown letters from Columbus to the Crown. Zamora examines those aspects of the texts that have caused the most anxiety and disagreement among scholars--questions concerning Columbus's destination, the authenticity and authority of the texts attributed to him, Las Casas's editorial role, and Columbus's views on the Indians. In doing so she opens up the vast cultural context of the Discovery. Exploring the ways in which the first images of America as seen through European eyes both represented and helped shape the Discovery, she maps the inception and growth of a discourse that was to dominate the colonizing of the New World. 410 0$aLatin American literature and culture (Berkeley, Calif.) ;$vVolume 9. 607 $aAmerica$vEarly accounts to 1600$xHistory and criticism 610 $a1492. 610 $aappropriation. 610 $aauthenticity. 610 $aauthority. 610 $acartography. 610 $achristopher columbus. 610 $acolonialism. 610 $acolumbus. 610 $adestination. 610 $adiscovery of the americas. 610 $adiscovery. 610 $aexpeditions. 610 $aexploration. 610 $aferdinand. 610 $agender. 610 $aideology. 610 $aindigenous peoples. 610 $aisabela. 610 $ajourney. 610 $alas casas. 610 $alatin america. 610 $alatin american history. 610 $alatin american literature and culture series. 610 $alibro copiador. 610 $aliterary letters. 610 $anative americans. 610 $anative peoples. 610 $apilgrimage. 610 $atestimony. 610 $athe crown. 610 $athe new world. 610 $atravel narratives. 610 $aworld history. 676 $a970.015 700 $aZamora$b Margarita$01008841 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495963703321 996 $aReading Columbus$92808868 997 $aUNINA
