Caribbean and Latin America

Kathleen Deagan and José María Cruxent. Columbus's Outpost among the Taínos: Spain and America at La Isabela, 1493–1498. New Haven: Yale University Press. 2002. Pp. x, 294. $35.00.

This volume is a cogently written historical archaeological account of Isabela, the first European town in the Americas. Kathleen Deagan and José María Cruxent synthesize a tremendous array of documentary and material data, provide an overview of the historical and social context in which this fifteenth-century town was established, and interpret the lives of Hispaniola's first European settlers and the Taíno who greeted them. The volume is intended for a popular audience, and is thus neither overly technical nor particular intensive in its analysis of Isabela and its residents.
