Description

In the first volume within the Penguin History of america series, edited by Eric Foner, Alan Taylor challenges the traditional story of colonial history by examining the many cultures that helped make The united states, from the native inhabitants from millennia past in the course of the decades of Western colonization and conquest and across all the continent, all the option to the Pacific coast.

Transcending the standard Anglocentric version of our colonial past, he recovers the importance of Native American tribes, African slaves, and the rival empires of France, Spain, the Netherlands, or even Russia within the colonization of North The united states. Moving beyond the Atlantic seaboard to examine all the continent, American Colonies reveals a pivotal period within the global interaction of peoples, cultures, plants, animals, and microbes. In a vivid narrative, Taylor draws upon state of the art scholarship to create a timely picture of the colonial world characterized by an interplay of freedom and slavery, opportunity and loss.
