This title revisits the history of American colonization. In this
iconoclastic book, Francis Jennings recasts the story of American
colonization as a territorial invasion. The traditional history of
early America paints the colonies as a transplantation of European
culture to a new continent - a 'virgin land' in which Native
Americans were assigned the role of foil whose main contribution
was to stimulate the energy and ingenuity of European
dispossessors. Jennings rejects this ideology and examines the
relationships between Europeans and Indians from a far more
critical point of view. Shorn of old mythology and
rationalizations, Puritan actions are seen in the cold light of
material interest and naked expansion.
