Description

In this landmark work of environmental history, William Cronon offers an original and profound explanation of the results European colonists’ sense of property and their pursuit of capitalism had upon the ecosystems of New England. Reissued here with an up to date afterword by the writer and a new preface by the celebrated colonialist John Demos, Changes within the Land provides a brilliant interdisciplinary interpretation of the way land and other folks influence one any other. With its chilling closing line, “The folk of plenty were a other folks of waste”, Cronon’s enduring and thought-provoking book is ethnoecological history at its very best.
