Reading Chronicle of the Narváez Expedition | Alexandria
Read Chronicle of the Narváez Expedition by Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca. Shattering colonial narratives, this 16th-century shipwreck survivor's account reveals startling insights into cultural relativism centuries before anthropology existed. Through nine years living among Indigenous peoples, Cabeza de Vaca evolved from conquistador to humanitarian, proving that empathy can transform even the staunchest ideological beliefs.
