Dominion and Civility

Více o knize

The book examines Anglo-Indian relations within a transatlantic framework, highlighting the complexities of the frontier where neither side dominated. It details the English settlers' three main objectives: securing profits, safeguarding lands, and "civilizing" Native Americans, ultimately revealing the challenges they faced in achieving these goals. By situating this history in the broader context of colonial efforts by England and its rivals, it enhances our understanding of European and Native American interactions and contributes significantly to the history of the English Atlantic world.
