Beyond Horizon

This book discusses the narratives surrounding Christopher Columbus which have
long been dominated by Eurocentric perspectives.
The Reconquista in Spain shaded Columbus life which was driven by religious, political
and social factors, the impact of all of them affected his voyages to approach the new
world.
The term discovery of the new world is problematic when applied to Columbus with
his colonial mindset that justified exploitation and erasure of indigenous cultures.
By framing Columbus's journey as a discovery, we risk reinforcing harmful stereotypes
and narratives that continue to affect Indigenous communities today.
Here we can discuss the impact of the geo-political atmosphere of the world around
the fifteenth century in response to Columbus voyages, particularly after discovery of
long hidden treasure (library) in Spain that reveals what happened in 1 millennium
that can alter Columbus narrative
