Early America is a field report on the current state of the
historiography on the colonial era-from the time of the Treaty of
Utrecht in 1713 to the end of the American Revolution around 1784.
Based on a close reading of nearly four hundred articles in leading
journals published over the past decade, Trevor Burnard provides an
unprecedented analysis of the direction of the field encompassed by
the popular hashtag #VastEarlyAmerica. He examines scholarship on
the most important areas of current research-Indigenous history,
slavery and race, and gender. Burnard also demonstrates how
important imperialism has become in providing a framework for
colonial American history, especially for new scholarship on the
American War of Independence, which historians increasingly see in
its context as part of a broader Age of Revolutions. This is the
first book in over thirty years to offer advanced undergraduate and
graduate students and scholars a comprehensive guide to the
historiography of early America.
