Conquest of the Americas (Audiobook)
Posted on 2011-01-25

More By Professor Marshall C. Eakin Why was Christopher Columbus's voyage to the Americas in 1492 arguably the most important event in the history of the world? Professor Marshall C. Eakin of Vanderbilt University argues that it gave birth to the distinct identity of the Americas today by creating a collision between three distinct peoples and cultures: European, African, and Native American. As the inheritors of this legacy, some 500 years hence, we forget how radically the discovery of the Americas transformed the view of the world on both sides of the Atlantic. A People Unknown, A Land Unmentioned When Columbus completed his "enterprise of the Indies" he found a people unlike any he had ever known and a land unmentioned in any of the great touchstones of Western knowledge. Animated by the great dynamic forces of the day, Christianity and commercial capitalism, the European world reacted to Columbus's discovery with voyages of conquest—territorial, cultural, and spiritual. For the native peoples of the Americas, the consequences were no less dramatic. When Hernán Cortés arrived to conquer Mexico, the Aztecs feared he was a god, returned from exile to claim his ancient lands. For all intents and purposes, he may well have been. Within half a century, Old World germs and diseases had reduced native populations by as much as 90 percent. The great empires of the Aztecs, Mayas, and Incas, which had developed over centuries, were undone in a matter of years. The religious orders of the Dominicans, Franciscans, and Jesuits undertook to convert the native peoples to Christianity. Finally, the engine of European capitalism, embodied in the great plantation estates and mining complexes in Mexico and Peru, transformed the day-to-day life of the native peoples. Enormous and Tragic Consequences This collision of cultures also had enormous consequences for the peoples of Africa. The transatlantic slave trade, the largest forced migration in human history, changed the lives of millions of Africans and initiated one of the most tragic chapters in the history of the Americas. And yet, this course is no simple account of heroes and villains, or victors and victims. It is a dramatic, sweeping tale of the complex blending of three peoples into one. Through Dr. Eakin's thoughtful and detailed lectures, you understand how these three peoples formed completely new societies and cultures that were neither European, African, nor Indian. Instead, they were uniquely American. Some audiobooks in one folder is !!! Some video tutorials in one folder is !!!
