Abstract

Caroline Dodds Pennock's book "On Savage Shores: How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe" explores the journey of Aj Pop B'atz', a Q'eq'chi Maya leader, and his three companions to Europe in 1545. Through a detailed examination of Indigenous sojourns across the Atlantic, Pennock challenges assumptions about where Indigenous history belongs, highlighting the agency and resilience of Indigenous travelers. The book sheds light on the complex interactions between Indigenous peoples and Europeans, offering a critical perspective on colonial encounters and their lasting legacies. Pennock's work is a significant contribution to understanding the interconnected histories of Indigenous and European societies, emphasizing the importance of recognizing Indigenous experiences in global narratives.
