Overview
Twelve American scholars contribute 13 essays exploring the processes which shaped postcolonial America. They argue that the colonization of the U.S. was not simply a struggle between European culture and a singular "other." Instead, it can be seen as a raced and classed phenomenon, involving a complex series of unstable negotiations, violent encounters, legal maneuvers, and political compromises which attempted to define differences among several groups: the Puritan clergy, the emergent bourgeoisie, the white backwoodsmen, the mixed- bloods, the American Indians, and African Americans.
