Description
A multicultural and multinational history of colonial America, challenging traditional narratives to reveal the diverse cultures that shaped the continent. From Native American tribes to African slaves and rival empires of France, Spain, the Netherlands, and Russia, Alan Taylor examines the complex interactions between peoples, cultures, plants, animals, and microbes.
Spanning the entire continent from the Atlantic seaboard to the Pacific coast, this book offers a vivid narrative of the colonial world characterized by an interplay of freedom and slavery, opportunity and loss. Drawing on cutting-edge scholarship, Taylor creates a timely picture of North America's complex past.
Provoking us to contemplate the ways in which residents of North America have dealt with diversity, this book is a significant contribution to our understanding of colonial history.
