Columbus’s arrival in the Caribbean changed everything that following year. In 1491, the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans were almost closed barriers, in which America, Europe and Asia might as well not exist on the same planet. In 1493, Mann tells his readers that it is “the hallmark of the ecological era we live in: the “Homogenocene,” the Age of Homogeneity” (Mann).ġ493 begins where Mann’s previous “1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus,” leaves off. Aside from the beginning garden and the ending garden taking place half way around the world from each other, the two grow many of the same plants, with neither containing any of which are native to their particular place. The first garden begins in Mann’s personal garden in Massachusetts the second garden, ends the novel with a Filipino family in Bulalacao.
