Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Although Columbus's diaries contain almost all firsthand information about the Tainos, who became extinct as a result of European colonization, the author has managed to piece together a robust chronicle of their past. Sifting through reports on Caribbean archaeological sites and plumbing studies of language and biology for historical clues, he traces the Tainos back to the initial colonization of the West Indies 5000 years ago. Developing a subject introduced in a chapter of Rouse's Migrations in Prehistory (Yale, 1986), this masterpiece of the cultural/historical approach in archaeology caps 35 years of research. Rouse (archaeology, Yale) fully justifies his reputation as a committed teacher with this informative and accessible volume. Highly recommended for a general audience and anyone interested in the quincentenary. For more books on the Columbus quincentenary, see "Rediscovering Columbus," LJ 8/91, p. 120-22.--Ed.
