He later traveled to South America as an appointed provincial governor, only to be sent back to Spain in chains some years after his arrival. His written works describing his experiences provide insights into the lives of the indigenous peoples of the Americas and the attitudes of the Spanish conquistadores.</p><p>This volume provides background about the texts and discusses new ways to teach them, challenging outdated readings that erase the violence of Spanish imperialism. Essays examine the role of the enslaved African Esteban in Cabeza de Vacas account of the North American expedition, the indigenous and Spanish women who appear in the explorers texts, Cabeza de Vacas performance of multiple gender roles, and the reception of these works as examples of Chicano or Latin American literature. The volume also explores connections to archaeological findings and food studies.</p>...7064884Approaches to Teaching Cabeza de Vacas Account and Other Texts759759https://www.gandhi.com.mx/approaches-to-teaching-cabeza-de-vacas-account-and-other-texts-9781603296885/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/7031741/image.jpg?v=638793321058530000InStockMXN99999DIEbook2025Inglés
