Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The former French colony of Acadia—permanently renamed Nova Scotia by the British when they began an ambitious occupation of the territory in 1710—witnessed one of the bitterest struggles in the British empire. Whereas in its other North American colonies Britain assumed it could garner the sympathies of fellow Europeans against the native peoples, in Nova Scotia nothing was further from the truth. The Mi'kmaq, the native local population, and the Acadians, descendants of the original French settlers, had coexisted for more than a hundred years prior to the British conquest, and their friendships, family ties, common Catholic religion, and commercial relationships proved resistant to British-enforced change. Unable to seize satisfactory political control over the region, despite numerous efforts at separating the Acadians and Mi'kmaq, the authorities took drastic steps in the 1750s, forcibly deporting the Acadians to other British colonies and systematically decimating the remaining native population. The story of the removal of the Acadians, some of whose descendants are the Cajuns of Louisiana, and the subsequent oppression of the Mi'kmaq has never been completely told. In this first comprehensive history of the events leading up to the ultimate break-up of Nova Scotian society, Geoffrey Plank skillfully unravels the complex relationships of all of the groups involved, establishing the strong bonds between the Mi'kmaq and Acadians as well as the frustration of the British administrators that led to the Acadian removal, culminating in one of the most infamous events in North American history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the founding of the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1670, the fur trade dominated the development of the Canadian west. Although detailed accounts of the fur-trade era have appeared, until recently the rich social history has been ignored. In this book, the fur trade is examined not simply as an economic activity but as a social and cultural complex that was to survive for nearly two centuries. The author traces the development of a mutual dependency between Indian and European traders at the economic level that evolved into a significant cultural exchange as well. Marriages of fur traders to Indian women created bonds that helped advance trade relations. As a result of these "many tender ties," there emerged a unique society derived from both Indian and European culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An acclaimed book and widely acknowledged classic, The Middle Ground steps outside the simple stories of Indian-white relations - stories of conquest and assimilation and stories of cultural persistence. It is, instead, about a search for accommodation and common meaning. It tells how Europeans and Indians met, regarding each other as alien, as other, as virtually nonhuman, and how between 1650 and 1815 they constructed a common, mutually comprehensible world in the region around the Great Lakes that the French called pays d'en haut. Here the older worlds of the Algonquians and of various Europeans overlapped, and their mixture created new systems of meaning and of exchange. Finally, the book tells of the breakdown of accommodation and common meanings and the re-creation of the Indians as alien and exotic. First published in 1991, the 20th anniversary edition includes a new preface by the author examining the impact and legacy of this study.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The State Historical Society of Wisconsin: I, the Story of Its Growth; II, Opinions of Men of Letters; III, Description of the New Building It was evident that at this rate of progress, the Society would never amount to anything. Somebody must devote his entire Secretary Draper time to the work. Becoming personally respon imported sible for the conduct of the Society's affairs, and giving to it life and character. The man for the place was imported to Madison in October, 1852. He was Lyman C. Draper of Philadelphia, who had already Spent about fifteen years in the accumulation of materials for the history of the Middle West and the South, achieving such success in that field. At a time when collectors of Americana were few, as to attract the attention of Sparks, Bancroft, and other schol ars throughout the Eastern States. Draper was then thirty seven years of age, full of vigor and push, kindly of disposi tion, persuasive in argument, devoted to his life task of collect ing, self-denying in the cause, and of unimpeachable character.

This book was released on 2012-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bookproposes the first expansive investigation of the emergence of racial idioms and hierarchies in the French Atlantic world from the sixteenth to the late eighteenth century. Drawing upon a wide variety of colonial and metropolitan sources, the author traces the ways in which early modern French metropolitan conceptualizations of social and religious order were deployed, challenged, and transformed to create new and racialized identities in the varied and evolving contexts of the French colonization of North America, the Antilles, Guiana, and West Africa.Ultimately, this study shows how these colonial developments contributed to the formulation of new understandings of the connection between race and national identity in both colonial and metropolitan settings during the decades leading up to the French and Haitian Revolutions.

Book excerpt: With nine articles neatly combining contemporary theorizing and historical approaches to political thought and concepts, this volume of Redescriptions draws attention to two topics several of the contributions share. In these articles rhetoric serves both as a style of political theorizing and as a medium of conceptual change. In addition, the relationship of political thought and practice to religion is discussed as a subject matter as well as in the sense of a cultural heritage that is used by the political agents for contemporary purposes.
