This book explores the introduction of domesticated chickens into the Americas in the wake of Christopher Columbus's expeditions. By combining historical accounts with modern linguistic research, the author traces the spread of chickens throughout the continent, revealing the trade routes and migrations of indigenous peoples in the post-Columbian era. Analyzing words for "chicken" in various Native American languages, it provides linguistic evidence of these movements and the impact of European colonization on indigenous cultures. The book sheds light on the complex interactions between colonizers and indigenous peoples, highlighting the role of trade and cultural exchange in shaping the Americas as we know them today.
