Until relatively recently, the connection between British imperial
history and the history of early America was taken for granted. In
recent times, however, early American historiography has begun to
suffer from a loss of coherent definition as competing manifestos
demand this or that reordering of the subject in order to combine
time periods and geographical areas in ways that would have
previously seemed anomalous. It has become common place to announce
that the history of America is best accounted for in America itself
in a three-way melee between "settlers", the indigenous
populations, and the forcibly transported African slaves and their
creole descendants. The contributions to British North America in
the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries acknowledge the value of
the historiographic work done under this new dispensation in the
last two decades and incorporate its insights. However, the volume
advocates a pluralistic approach to the subject generally and
attempts to demonstrate that the metropolitan power was of more
than secondary importance to America in the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries. The central theme of this volume is the
question: to what extent did it make a difference to those living
in the colonies that made up British North America in the
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries that they were part of an
empire and that the empire in question was British? The
contributors, some of the leading scholars in their respective
fields, strive to answer this question in various social,
political, religious, and historical contexts.
