On Savage Shores: How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe by Caroline Dodds Pennock
5.0
A really fascinating way to look at colonization and its lasting impacts. The final chapter gutted me.
Heavy reading, but an important reminder that indigenous people also traveled to Europe and participated, willingly and unwillingly, in cultural exchange. That there was a flow both ways across the Atlantic. And that just because the stories weren’t recorded doesn’t mean the history didn’t happen.
