The product of over twenty years of exhaustive research in libraries throughout Europe and the United States, the book presents a vast number of primary and secondary sources in order to paint a clear picture of the diverse and complex societies that constituted the Americas before 1492 and reveals the surprising Native American involvements in maritime trade and exploration.

The American Discovery of Europe

History

Forbes, Jack D.

Americas

University of Illinois Press

This volume will revise the way we look at the modern populations of Latin America and North America by providing a totally new view of the history of Native American and African American peoples throughout the hemisphere. Africans and Native Americans explores key issues relating to the evolution of racial terminology and European colonialists' perceptions of color, analyzing the development of color classification systems and the specific evolution of key terms such as black, mulatto, and mestizo, which no longer carry their original meanings. Jack Forbes presents strong evidence that Native American and African contacts began in Europe, Africa, and the Caribbean and that Native Americans may have crossed the Atlantic long before Columbus.

Based on extensive research in Spain, Mexico, Texas, New Mexico, and California, Apache, Navaho, and Spaniard tells of the Spanish advance in the seventeenth century into northern Mexico and the Southwest, and of the American Indian response. Focusing on the Apache, Navaho, and neighboring nations, Jack Forbes reveals how long-standing, mutually beneficial relationships existing between the indigenous communities were upset by Spanish exploitation and slave-raiding, causing rebellions and widespread armed resistance that blunted the growth of the Spanish Empire.
