Reflecting on the relationship between memory, power, and national identity, this book examines the complex reactions of the people of the Caribbean to the 500th anniversary of Col umbus's discovery of the New World. Viala analyzes the ways in which Columbus became a reservoir of metaphors to confront anxieties of the present with myths of the past.Publication Year: 2014Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan USFormat: HWeight (Gram): 4728 Show more
