It is one thing to draw a line in the sand but another to enforce
it. In this innovative new work, Jessica Lauren Taylor follows the
Native peoples and the newcomers who built and crossed emerging
boundaries surrounding Indigenous towns and developing English
plantations in the seventeenth-century Chesapeake Bay. In a
riverine landscape defined by connection, Algonquians had
cultivated ties to one another and into the continent for
centuries. As Taylor finds, their networks continued to define the
watery Chesapeake landscape, even as Virginia and Maryland’s
planters erected fences and forts, policed unfree laborers, and
dispatched land surveyors. By chronicling English and Algonquian
attempts to move along paths and rivers and to enforce boundaries,
Taylor casts a new light on pivotal moments in Anglo-Indigenous
relations, from the growth of the fur trade to Bacon’s Rebellion.
Most important, Taylor traces the ways in which the peoples
resisting colonial encroachment and subjugation used Native
networks and Indigenous knowledge of the Bay to cross newly created
English boundaries. She thereby illuminates alternate visions of
power, freedom, and connection in the colonial Chesapeake.
Foreword by Harvey V. Fineberg, President of the Institute of
MedicineFor decades, experts have puzzled over why the US spends
more on health care but suffers poorer outcomes than other
industrialized nations. Now Elizabeth H. Bradley and Lauren A.
Taylor marshal extensive research, including a comparative study of
health care data from thirty countries, and get to the root of this
paradox: We've left out of our tally the most impactful
expenditures countries make to improve the health of their
populations,investments in social services. In The American Health
Care Paradox , Bradley and Taylor illuminate how narrow definitions
of health care," archaic divisions in the distribution of health
and social services, and our allergy to government programs combine
to create needless suffering in individual lives, even as health
care spending continues to soar. They show us how and why the US
health care system" developed as it did examine the constraints on,
and possibilities for, reform and profile inspiring new initiatives
from around the world. Offering a unique and clarifying perspective
on the problems the Affordable Care Act won't solve, this book also
points a new way forward.
