Review the descriptions of exotic peoples found in Zurara, Cadamosto, and the Columbus texts (including Peter Martyrs letters). Significant barriers obviously existed between these explorers and the peoples they encountered. Describe the means of communication that they employed, and what they thought of the people that they encountered. Did they appreciate anything about the Africans or Americans? Were the Europeans treated well or poorly? What kind of relations did they establish with these peoples (diplomatic? military? religious?). Can we say that the Europeans thought of themselves as superior to those they encountered? Defend your answer by citing evidence from our sources.
