The monograph reveals how the history of the moment differs from the interpretation of the past. Professor Tamburri has crafted The Columbus Affair for all audiences. He triumphs demonstrating how Columbus emerges as a complex symbol in a contentious period of American history. -Leslie Wilson, from the preface"--Back cover.
