Taino: A Novel

“Written” by Guaikán, the aged Taino man who, in his youth, was adopted by Christopher Columbus and noticed historical past unfold, Taino is the Indian chronicle of the American encounter, the Native view on Columbus and what occurred within the Caribbean. This novel, primarily based on a real story, penetrates the historic veil that also enshrines the “discovery.”

Presently a senior fellow on the Smithsonian Nationwide Museum of the American Indian, José Barreiro is a novelist, essayist, and an activist of almost 4 a long time on American indigenous hemispheric themes. Barreiro is a member of the Taino Nation of the Antilles.
