Summary

Professor Marshall C. Eakin presents twenty-four 30-minute lectures examining both the unity and diversity in the early history of the Americas. He discusses how Christopher Columbus's voyage to the Americas in 1492 created a collision between three distinct peoples and cultures, European, African, and Native-American, and gave birth to the distinct identity of the Americas today
