| Description | The first American encounter with the Taino Indians of the Caribbean can best be understood by comparing the events in Spanish history immediately before and during the arrival of the Spanish in the Indies in 1492. The comparative context for analyzing how Spain ended its medieval history and embarked upon empire building could be entitled the inter-Atlantic paradigm. In analyzing how the Canaries and the Indies were affected by a medieval notion of colonization, it is useful to rethink medieval history. Glick (1969) suggested that the Reconquista be analyzed as a process of acculturation. The colonization of the Canary Islands and Caribbean may be described as a search for a new ecological niche outside of the Iberian peninsula. The confessional institutions of the Christians, Jews, and Muslims during the Reconquista on the peninsula clearly defined the law, customs, and practices that were the basis for mutual understanding among the three groups.
