An acclaimed book and widely acknowledged classic, The Middle
Ground steps outside the simple stories of Indian-white relations -
stories of conquest and assimilation and stories of cultural
persistence. It is, instead, about a search for accommodation and
common meaning. It tells how Europeans and Indians met, regarding
each other as alien, as other, as virtually nonhuman, and how
between 1650 and 1815 they constructed a common, mutually
comprehensible world in the region around the Great Lakes that the
French called pays d'en haut. Here the older worlds of the
Algonquians and of various Europeans overlapped, and their mixture
created new systems of meaning and of exchange. Finally, the book
tells of the breakdown of accommodation and common meanings and the
re-creation of the Indians as alien and exotic. First published in
1991, the 20th anniversary edition includes a new preface by the
author examining the impact and legacy of this study.
