The year 1492 dramatically changed intellectual conceptions of the world. It brought peoples of two semi-isolated hemispheres into confrontation and created "new" realities, the moral implications of which cannot be ignored. It opened the way for biological and technological transfers on a vast scale, creating novel cultural, economic and biotic configurations in the "New" World and set in motion immense social and environmental change. The ten essays in ths book examine the Americas in both lights - pre- and post-Columbian, and offer differing views on the polemic of the Quincentenary which pits Columbus the icon against Columbus the symbol of a new world genocide and environmental destruction. The book is aimed at third year undergraduates on courses including historical geography of the Americas and the geography of imperialism.
