From the earliest moments of European contact, Native Americans
have played a pivotal role in the Atlantic experience, yet they
often have been relegated to the margins of the region's historical
record. The Red Atlantic, Jace Weaver's sweeping and highly
readable survey of history and literature, synthesizes scholarship
to place indigenous people of the Americas at the center of our
understanding of the Atlantic world. Weaver illuminates their
willing and unwilling travels through the region, revealing how
they changed the course of world history. Indigenous Americans,
Weaver shows, crossed the Atlantic as royal dignitaries, diplomats,
slaves, laborers, soldiers, performers, and tourists. And they
carried resources and knowledge that shaped world
civilization--from chocolate, tobacco, and potatoes to terrace
farming and suspension bridges. Weaver makes clear that indigenous
travelers were cosmopolitan agents of international change whose
engagement with other societies gave them the tools to advocate for
their own sovereignty even as it was challenged by colonialism.
