This book uses political process theory to examine the three most successful cultural movements that have mobilized around Christopher Columbus, a figure whose surrounding myths have served many interests. The author examines the religious, ethnic, and anti-colonial movements that were most successful in rewriting national origin myth, providing a clear application of the political process model while telling the story of how a powerless public mobilized to rewrite its past.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This book presents an ideological interpretation of the role of 'powerless' individuals in shaping collective memory in the face of hegemonic institutions. Well footnoted, referenced, and supported by tables and figures.”--B.Osborne, Choice

"Social movement and American history scholars will learn something from this book." --Randolph Hohle, D'Youville College

"systematic, thorough, well-researched, and well organized...both intruitging and instructive." --Jennifer A. Jordan, Contemporary Sociology: A Journal of Reviews

"Kubal's study provides an interesting and insightful exploration of how different types of groups relate to the national origin myth of Christopher Columbus...it presents a thought provoking account of what is really just a story; a tale of how American society has adjusted and adapted a narrative of what many still consider its originating event." --Timothy B. Gongaware, Sociological Spectrum

About the Author

Timothy Kubal is Assistant Professor of Sociology at California State University at Fresno.
