Edmontosaurs Migrate South

The Moor’s Account, by Laila Lalami explains the journey of Esteban a Moroccan the first non-Indian to explore what would become the American Southwest. I observed how Lalami created Esteban’s character from very little knowledge, because of the little information known about Esteban and his voyage. She made him into a character with only knowing he was a black man from Azemmour and gave him a family, history, and most importantly a voice. In doing this she gave readers a different viewpoint of the expedition. She also gives a deeper look into what really happened in the Indian territory that might have been purposely left out by Cabeza de Vaca. Esteban’s place in history was not given to him and that made Lalami want to give him exactly that and doing this she gave the views of powerless unlike the views of the powerful which we always see.

The migration of European settlers and culture to North America is an often examined area. One aspect of this, however, is worthy of deeper analysis. The conquest of North America by Europeans and American settlers from the 16th to 19th centuries had a profound effect on the indigenous political landscape by defining a new relationship dynamic between natives and settlers, by upsetting existing native political, economic and military structures, and by establishing a paradigm where the indigenous peoples felt they had to resist the European and American incursions. The engaging and brilliant works of Andres Rensendez and Steve Inskeep, entitled respectively “A Land So Strange” and “Jacksonland”, provide excellent insights and aide to this analysis.

Here, he speaks of faraway lands and new horizons, which undoubtedly refers to the mingling of the European cultures after they were colonized by the latter. It introduced in them some new ways of living and so the native people were perplexed whether to adopt the newly introduced culture or to follow the traditional life style. The use of the technical terms ‘coaxing diminuendo, counterpoint, crescendo,’ definitely adds more confusion in the present state.

The authors perspective of dexterity helps the reader understand the migration. In the text “ Following the Food” it states, “ Archeologists have concluded that the first Americans were skilled toolmakers, used fire, hunted large game such as mammoths, and moved about in pursuit of their prey.” Their ability to hunt animals such as mammoths shows that they are dexterous because of how challenging it would have been to hunt them.

The cultural and societal intricacies of the Pre-Columbian civilizations in the Americas have been remarkably misinterpreted for centuries. In his novel 1491, Charles C Mann challenges the common misconception that these people roamed the Americas without leaving so much as an anthropogenic footprint prior to the re-colonization by Europeans. He clearly debunks this myth by providing evidence from several different fields, that the indigenous people interacted directly with the environments they lived in. Mann conclusively argues that these people were misunderstood due to the complexity of their societies, by showing that native peoples of the Americas sculpted the environments they inhabited.

Presented with the following statement: “The Europeans were the first civilized people to arrive in North America” one can only apprehend how false this statement can appear amid being contrasted to Mesoamerican progresses like the Olmecs. Granted, this could never be a factual rationale, on the account of, the amended concepts of the ancient peoples of North America.

Thesis: Most people believe that The Age of Discovery was the product of a handful of adventurous explorers. They were an important part of this Age, but theirs was not the main motivation. I believe however, that the Bourgeoisie provided the impetus of this Age.
