In Modernity and Its Other Robert Woods Sayre examines
eighteenth-century North America through discussion of texts drawn
from the period. He focuses on this unique historical moment when
early capitalist civilization (modernity) in colonial societies,
especially the British, interacted closely with Indigenous
communities (the "Other") before the balance of power shifted
definitively toward the colonizers. Sayre considers a variety of
French perspectives as a counterpoint to the Anglo-American lens,
including J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur and Philip Freneau, as
well as both Anglo-American and French or French Canadian travelers
in "Indian territory," including William Bartram, Jonathan Carver,
John Lawson, Alexander Mackenzie, Baron de Lahontan, Pierre
Charlevoix, and Jean-Baptiste Trudeau. Modernity and Its Other is
an important addition to any North American historian's bookshelf,
for it brings together the social history of the European colonies
and the ethnohistory of the American Indian peoples who interacted
with the colonizers.
