After reading the second chapter of Takaki's "A Different Mirror; A History of Multicultural America", I was pleasantly surprised of the reference of Shakespeare's Tempest.
While I have not read the Tempest, I do appreciate the work of William Shakespeare quite a bit.
I do have to confess that I'm not huge on history, and that... well, I'm not the most excited about it. I am, however, very interested in literature, especially that of Shakespeare. I was really glad to read about how great literature, especially that of Shakespeare, was influenced by the discovery and settling of the New World. The references kept me awake through the chapter.
