We have long been taught to presume that modern global history began when the Old World encountered the New, when Christopher Columbus discovered America in 1492. But, as Caroline Dodds Pennock conclusively shows in this groundbreaking book, for tens of thousands of Aztecs, Maya, Totonacs, Inuit and othersenslaved people, diplomats, explorers, servants, tradersthe reverse was true: they discovered Europe.
For them, Europe comprised savage shores, a land of riches and marvels, yet perplexing for its brutal disparities of wealth and quality of life, and its baffling beliefs. The story of these Indigenous Americans abroad is a story of abduction, loss, cultural appropriation, and, as they saw it, of apocalypsea story that has largely been absent from our collective imagination of the times.
From the Brazilian king who met Henry VIII to the Aztecs who mocked up human sacrifice at the court of Charles V; from the Inuk baby who was put on show in a London pub to the mestizo children of Spaniards who returned home with their fathers; from the Inuit who harpooned ducks on the Avon river to the many servants employed by Europeans of every rank: here are a people who were rendered exotic, demeaned, and marginalized, but whose worldviews and cultures had a profound impact on European civilization.
Drawing on their surviving literature and poetry and subtly layering European eyewitness accounts against the grain, Pennock gives us a sweeping account of the Indigenous American presence in, and impact on, early modern Europe.

For James
It is called teuatl [sea], not that it is a god; it only means wonderful, a great marvel. And its name is ilhuicaatl.
It is great. It terrifies. It is that which is irresistible; a marvel; foaming, glistening, with waves; bitter most bitter; very salty. It contains man-eating animals, life. It is that which surges. It stirs; it stretches ill-smelling, restless.
I live on the sea. I become a part of the sea. I cross over the sea. I die in the sea. I live on the sea.
