Volume 2 Archaeological and Historical Perspectives on the Spanish Borderlands East Columbian Consequences, a three-volume series, addresses the social, demographic, ecological, ideological, and human repercussions of Columbus's arrival in 1492. Deliberately timed to precede the Columbian Quincentenary observances of 1992, this series explores the nature of early European?Native American interactions across the Spanish Borderlands, which run from San Francisco, California, to St. Augustine, Florida.

In Volume 2 they examine European exploration, colonization, and missionization in the eastern borderlands?the contemporary American Southeast and the Caribbean.

Others draw upon their training in the diverse fields of American history, art history, ethnohistory, physical anthropology, and geography A Franciscan scholar considers the relevance of ongoing archaeological explorations to contemporary religious life, and two Latin American archaeologists discuss contact period studies studies in the Caribbean from their unique perspectives Despite the diversity in approach these authors the coping strategies employed the eastern borderlands.

"Dispossessed of their ancestral homelands by successive invasions of Europeans, the first real Americans have long been cloaked in a veil of myth and legend that has hidden from us the true richness and diversity of Indian civilizations and cultures. This newly unfolding legacy represents an unparalleled body of untapped wisdom, which even now provides fresh perspectives of very modern problems. The astonishing reality of Indian history, presented here for the first time from the perspective of native Americas, will deepen our understanding of what it really means to be an American. The archaeological history of the native peoples of the Americas goes back more than 30,000 years. By the time Columbus landed in this "New" World, it was a very old world that already had seen entire civilizations rise and fall through the centuries. These linked continents were by then populated by some 55,000,000 people who spoke 2,000 distinct languages and had develped a rich diversity of separate cultures, all joined in trade by a venerable network that covered the entire northern continent. Here, in a fresh look at the Americas, is a view of this "new" world's magnificent sweep of history through the eyes of its original inhabitants. It is an inspiring story of their amazing adaptability to a challenging land, especially in the past five hundred years when native Americans were force to cope with the introduction into their environment of the most rapacious predator they had ever faced: white European invaders. Spanning a thousand generations, from the time Ice Age man first set foot on this continent to the present, and beautifully written by five well-known authorities on Indian history and culture, this volume is lavishly illustrated with photographs, maps, and the work of both historic and contemporary artists." -- from the inner front jacket flap.
