The South American soursop, guanabana or graviola fruit, was unknown to Europeans until the voyages of Christopher Columbus. The tree is now grown commercially and in home gardens throughout the tropics. The fruit is consumed as a fresh fruit and juice, and the frozen pulp is used in the preparation of ice creams, sherbets, and juices in many world markets. The juice is sometimes mixed with other fruit juices. The pulp is also used in the preparation of drinks, wines, cakes, mousses, gelatins, and puddings or consumed green as a vegetable. This review discusses the taxonomy and morphology of the soursop, cultivar collection, and their use in selection and breeding programs as progenitors for developing new varieties.The environmental requirements, cultural practices, and plant propagation methods for soursop are reviewed. Orchard management that includes planting density, plant nutrition, pest and disease occurrence and control, harvest methods, and yields are discussed. Future prospects are considered.

“…Juan de Castellanos, the Spanish poet and historian who had detailed the Muisca ritual of El Dorado, had also provided his readers with information on Martín's time in the region surrounding the Orinoco river. In his epic poem, Elegías de Varones Ilustres de Indias (Elegies of Illustrious Men of the Indies), Castellanos gave a thorough account of Spanish colonial activity in the regions of modern-day Colombia and Venezuela, including Pedro Maraver de Silva's attempt to find the hidden city of El Dorado which culminated in Juan Martín's capture by Amerindians 35.…”

Authenticating El Dorado: Frustrated Knowledge Production in Walter Ralegh'sDiscoverie of Guiana

This article takes a fresh approach to Walter Ralegh's published account of his voyage to Guiana, The Discoverie of the Large, Rich, and Bewtiful Empyre of Guiana (1596), using it as a case study through which to explore the fragility of sixteenth-century processes of knowledge production about new lands. The article revisits this famous account in order to scrutinise in more detail the types of evidence Ralegh used to support his claims that a rich and powerful empire lay ready to be conquered by the English in the Amazon. This new analysis of Ralegh's narrative highlights the continued centrality of reputational models of authority in early modern travel literature and examines the types of evidence that could be employed by writers to support their suppositions when witness testimony was lacking. Ralegh's narrative illustrates that systems of knowledge production centred on the New World were, at the end of the sixteenth century, still in a state of flux. New ideas about what constituted credible knowledge, from firsthand experience to the collection of material artefacts, competed with older frameworks of authentication and authority. By examining knowledge production in frustration, and by dissecting Ralegh's failure to present a believable vision of El Dorado, this article throws into starker relief the many pitfalls and difficulties that beset those who attempted to present new and credible knowledge about the New World.
