I came across a weird claim from André Thevet about 16th century indigenous peoples around Rio de la Plata and in Patagonia learning about & converting to Islam after encountering the Spanish. Do any scholars working in this area know what he's talking about? #histodons #spanishcolonialism

This magisterial survey of the historical geography of the West Indies is at bottom concerned with the causes and consequences of three complex and inter-related phenomena: the rapid and total removal of a large aboriginal population; the development of plantation agriculture and the arrival of enforced labour, in the form of many thousands of African slaves; and the environmental, ecological and cultural changes that resulted.
