Stephen reviewed On Savage Shores by Caroline Dodds Pennock
Interesting but dry
3 stars
This book does the job it aims to do, to cover the stories of Indigenous people who came to Europe once Europeans starting visiting the Americas. The footnotes are amusing, and the explanations of the terminology of reconciliation are useful.
Fundamentally though, it is a list of vignettes seen from half a millennium later. It is somewhat sorted into categories, but I found it easier to read in short bites.
