Publisher Description In 2009, 319 years after its publication, and following over a century of copious scholarly speculation about the work, Jose F. Buscaglia is the first scholar to furnish direct and irrefutable proof that the story contained in the Infortunios/Misfortunes is based on the life and times of a man certifiably named Alonso Ramirez, who was shipwrecked on Herradura Point in the Coast of Yucatan on Sunday September 18, 1689. This first bilingual edition of the Infortunios/Misfortunes reports the findings of almost two decades of sustained research in pursuit, on land and by sea, of a most elusive historical character who was, as we now can attest with all degree of certainty, the first American known to have circumnavigated the globe. Captured by pirates, shipwrecked, and eventually rescued and sent on his way, this is one mans story of his unanticipated voyage around the Early Modern world. With transcription, translation, notes, maps, images, and critical essay by Jose F. Buscaglia-Salgado, this Rutgers edition is the most complete and authoritative study on a work that grants us privileged access to the intricacies of early American subjectivity. Author Biography José F. Buscaglia is a professor and chair of the Department of Cultures, Societies, and Global Studies at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. He is the author of Undoing Empire: Race, and Nation in the Mulatto Caribbean and two books in Spanish, one being the Spanish edition of the Infortunios.
