A Kid's Review
This review is from: Columbus and the World ... Him (Milton Meltzer Biographies) (Hardcover)
This was a good book for the facts but the writer chooses to be byist against the Europeans. He sends out the message that the Native Americans were PERFECT and the Europeans totally destroyed them. i agree that the Europeans massacred the Indians horribly, which was wrong but the Indians had their own flaws too which the author neglects to put in.

This review is from: Columbus and the World ... Him (Milton Meltzer Biographies) (Hardcover)
More tripe about how one "man" discovered other humans. The "objective" view of this man as a hero is still present, helping to perpetuate the myth that Natives were not as valuable as the oppressors who came to colonize them. I am not the type to say burn books, but this would make great kindling for the fires of truth. You might be able to use it in a discussion of racism and the epestimologies that help create and foster it. There are plenty of Italian people who were heroes, this person is just not one of them.
