Krátky popis
The story of the Vikings in North America as both fact and fiction,
from the westward expansion of the Norse across the North Atlantic
in the tenth and eleventh centuries to the myths and fabrications
about their presence there that have developed in recent centuries.
Tracking the saga of the Norse across the North Atlantic to
America, Norse America sets the record straight about the idea that
the Vikings 'discovered' America. The journey described is a
continuum, with evidence-based history and archaeology at one end,
and fake history and outright fraud at the other.In between there
lies a huge expanse of uncertainty: sagas that may contain shards
of truth, characters that may be partly historical, real
archaeology that may be interpreted throughthe fictions of saga,
and fragmentary evidence open to responsible and irresponsible
interpretation. Norse America is a book that tells two stories. The
first is the westward expansion of the Norse across the North
Atlantic in the tenth and eleventh centuries, settling in Greenland
and establishing a shore station at L'Anse aux Meadows in
Newfoundland (to which a chapter of the book is devoted) and ending
(but not culminating) in a fleeting and ill-documented presence on
the shores of the North American mainland.The second is the
appropriation and enhancement of the westwardnarrative by Canadians
and Americans who want America to have had white North European
origins, who therefore want the Vikings to have 'discovered'
America, and who in the advancement of that thesis have been
willing to twist and manufacture evidence in support of claims
grounded in an ideology of racialsuperiority.
