Specificatii
In The Unsettlement of America, Anna Brickhouse explores the
fascinating career and ambivalent narrative legacy of Paquiquineo,
a largely forgotten Native translator of the early modern Atlantic
world. Encountered by Spanish explorers in 1561 near the future
site of the Jamestown settlement, Paquiquineo traveled to Spain and
from there to Mexico, where he was christened as Don Luis de
Velasco. Regarded as a promising envoy to indigenous populations,
Don Luis experienced nearly a decade of European civilization
before thwarting the Spanish colonization of Ajacan, his native
land on the eastern seaboard, in a dramatic act of unsettlement.
Throughout this sweeping account, Brickhouse argues for the
interpretive and knowledge-producing roles played by Don Luis as
well as a range of other translators acting in Native-European
contact zones while helping to shape an arena of inter-indigenous
transmission in Europe and the Americas, from coastal Virginia and
the Floridas to Cuzco, Peru; from colonial Cuba and Mexico to
London and the royal court in Cordova, Spain. The book argues for
the conceptual significance of unsettlement the literal thwarting
or destruction of settlement as well as a heuristic for
understanding a range of texts related to settler colonialism
throughout the hemisphere. As Brickhouse demonstrates, the story of
Don Luis was told and retold-as well as censored, distorted, and
suppressed-in an array of writings from the sixteenth century to
the twentieth. Tracing accounts of this unfounding father as they
unfold across the centuries, The Unsettlement of America addresses
the problems of translation at the heart of his compelling story
and speculates on the implications of the literary afterlife of Don
Luis for the present and future of hemispheric American studies.
