Summary:
"The period from 1690 to 1763 was a time of intense territorial
competition
during which
Indigenous
peoples remained a dominant force. British Nova Scotia and French Acadia were imaginary places that administrators hoped to graft over the ancestral
homelands
of the Mi'kmaq, Wulstukwiuk, Passamaquoddy, and Abenaki peoples. In this deeply researched and engagingly argued work, Jeffers Lennox reconfigures our general understanding of how
Indigenous
peoples,
imperial
forces, and settlers competed for space in
northeastern
North
America
before the British conquest in 1763. Lennox's judicious investigation of official correspondence, treaties, newspapers and magazines, diaries, and maps reveals a locally developed system of accommodation that promoted peaceful interactions but enabled violent reprisals when agreements were broken. This outstanding contribution to scholarship on early
North
America
questions the nature and practice of
imperial
expansion in the face of
Indigenous
territorial strength. Jeffers Lennox is an assistant professor in the Department of History at Wesleyan University"--Provided by publisher.
