In examining the history of northeastern North America in the
seventeenth and eighteen centuries, it is important to take into
account diverse influences and experiences. Not only was the
relationship between native inhabitants and colonial settlers a
defining characteristic of Acadia/Nova Scotia and New England in
this era, but it was also a relationship shaped by wider
continental and oceanic connections.
The essays in this volume deal with topics such as colonial
habitation, imperial exchange, and aboriginal engagement, all of
which were pervasive phenomena of the time. John G. Reid argues
that these were complicated processes that interacted freely with
one another, shaping the human experience at different times and
places. Northeastern North America was an arena of distinctive
complexities in the early modern period, and this collection uses
it as an example of a manageable and logical basis for historical
study. Reid also explores the significance of anniversary
observances and commemorations that have served as vehicles of
reflection on the lasting implications of historical developments
in the early modern period. These and other insights amount to a
fresh perspective on the region and offer a deeper understanding of
North American history.
