This carefully collected volume of eight essays and 24 supporting documents allows access to the best and latest scholarship
about mainland British North America. This book demonstrates how differences in race, ethnicity, gender, and social status
were continually negotiated throughout Britain's North American colonies. It includes essays about Native Americans, the transatlantic
slave trade, the rise of gentility, regulation of the sexual behavior of both white and black women, and the creation of new
religious practices. Overall, Colonial American History reveals that this amalgamation of cultures presented the European
colonists, Native Americans and Africans alike with the opportunity - and necessity - to establish new identities and create
new forms of community and authority. The book includes a general introduction, chapter introductions, and supporting documents
for each essay. The documents - diaries, letters, trial summaries, treaties, slave codes, and travel narratives - are designed
to illuminate key issues raised in the essays and facilitate lively, informed classroom discussion.

«Here we have eight eminently discussible articles, each one matched with three substantial, thoughtfully edited primary sources, and introductory notes that invite rather than inhibit analysis. Who could ask for more? A superb reader."
