Quincentennial Crazies and The Discoverer Diversified.

Bernstein, David; Zappia, Andrew

Diversity: A Critical Journal of Race and Culture, v1 n2 p24-27 Dec-Jan 1991-92

Bernstein argues that current criticisms of Columbus are an ideologically motivated rewriting of the past and that the point of studying history is to understand development not validate particular ideologies. Zappia criticizes the artistic community for its attempts to discredit Columbus and to eulogize the civilizations he allegedly destroyed. (SLD)
