Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 You cannot discover lands already inhabited. That process is known as stealing, conquering, or colonizing. The fact that America celebrates Columbus Day reveals the implicit racial bias of the country: Native Americans are not fully human.
#2 The Doctrine of Discovery is a set of legal principles that governed the European colonizing powers, particularly regarding the administration of indigenous land. It is the primary legal precedent that still controls native affairs and rights.
#3 The Doctrine of Discovery, which was approved by the papal bull Romanus Pontifex, allowed European Catholic nations to expand their dominion over non-Christian land. The church believed that what benefited the European colonial powers would benefit the church.
#4 The first slaves from Africa were taken into slavery in 1441 by Portuguese explorers who brought twelve slaves back to Portugal. The timing of these papal bulls corresponded with the emboldening of the Portuguese to expand their initial action of subjugation.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

You cannot discover lands already inhabited. That process is known as stealing, conquering, or colonizing. The fact that America celebrates Columbus Day reveals the implicit racial bias of the country: Native Americans are not fully human.

#2

The Doctrine of Discovery is a set of legal principles that governed the European colonizing powers, particularly regarding the administration of indigenous land. It is the primary legal precedent that still controls native affairs and rights.

#3

The Doctrine of Discovery, which was approved by the papal bull Romanus Pontifex, allowed European Catholic nations to expand their dominion over non-Christian land. The church believed that what benefited the European colonial powers would benefit the church.

#4

The first slaves from Africa were taken into slavery in 1441 by Portuguese explorers who brought twelve slaves back to Portugal. The timing of these papal bulls corresponded with the emboldening of the Portuguese to expand their initial action of subjugation.

#5

The authority to discover and to conquer was drawn from an assumed spiritual authority. The bull asserted that those who would oppose the authority and rule of the European powers would be opposing the will of God.

#6

The Doctrine of Discovery, which was originally directed towards Portugal, then Spain, gave theological permission for the European body and mind to view themselves as superior to the non-European bodies and minds.

#7

The Doctrine of Discovery, which served as a theological affirmation of European atrocity, fueled the conquest of non-European lands by Europeans. It was a military and political doctrine that defined the parameters of European imperial greatness.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

The social construction of reality is the process by which society creates its own reality. This process is influenced by the externalization, institutionalization, and internalization of individuals. The full construct of a social system is not simply attributable to the influence of individuals, but also by institutions.

#2

The Western mission model, which is rooted in the Doctrine of Discovery, relies on the primary role of the heathens being to simply receive the message and the charity of their benevolent, generous, and well-educated missionaries.

#3

The human imagination is a powerful tool in the construction of social systems. The social imagination helps us make sense of the world around us and allows us to consider possibilities in the systems and structures where we live.
