Full Description
This book provides the first comprehensive work that examines the intellectual impact of New English narratives about Indigenous peoples, colonization, and the cultural influence they had in the northeastern United States.
By examining works that aided in the rationalization of colonialization, Indigenous dispossession, and genocide, this book demonstrates the pervasive impact that these popular narratives played in New England culture, and how they still influence representations of Indigenous peoples in the region. Throughout New England's history, Indigenous peoples challenged and resisted settler colonialism through their own cultural production and public statements. These voices remind us that settler colonialism was never uncontested in the northeastern United States and beyond.
Settler Colonial Thought and Culture in the Northeastern United States is a useful resource for all students and scholars who study colonialism, settler colonialism, empire, history and memory, and critical race studies.
