"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 melée 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."--Publisher's description
