Un si étrange pays

Reséndez's detailed account brings a fresh perspective on exploration, but I'm curious what motivated him to highlight the survival and cultural encounters of Cabeza de Vaca.

The interactions felt complex rather than stereotypical, which made me wonder if Reséndez's research aimed to challenge common narratives about early explorers.

Given the richness of his adventures, I'm interested in how Reséndez chose which episodes to focus on and which to omit or condense.
