(This is from a magazine article about Mayan gods):
En sociedades tan teocráticas como las precolombinas, correspondió a los dioses sustentar la existencia del universo; por ese motivo, con la violencia de la Conquista y la destrucción de los "ídolos", naufragó toda una explicación de vida y de la permanencia americana.

American history
Quizá no sea así, pero a mí no me dice gran cosa hablar de la permanencia americana, supongo que se refiere al paso y desarrollo de los distintos pueblos americanos, en este caso de los mayas; por ende, sugeriría "historia".
