Nash, Gary B.

Social Studies and the Young Learner, v4 n4 p3-5 Mar-Apr 1992

Argues for recognition that teaching about the voyages of Columbus is presented from a European perspective. Reminds teachers to take a multidimensional approach that recognizes the Native American and African-American points of view. Examines the long-range demographic, cultural, political, economic, dietary, and labor redividing consequences of 1492. (SG)
