In a response that is at least 250 words and incorporates from both of our readings due this week, respond to the question below:****8 In Good Day, Columbus, historian Michel-Ralph Trouillot argues that the usage of the term discovery to refer to Christopher Columbus supposed discovery of the Americas is a more powerful term in shaping our perceptions of indigenous peoples in the Americas than one might think.
According to Trouillot, what is the power of the term discovery and why does he believe this usage of the term in context of Columbus arrival is problematic?
Do you agree with his argument why or why not? Lastly, are there words, phrases, or descriptors that could be used to more accurately describe Columbus arrival?
