In this deeply researched and engagingly argued work, Jeffers Lennox reconfigures our general understanding of how Indigenous peoples, imperial forces, and settlers competed for space in northeastern North America before the British conquest in 1763. Lennox\u0026amp;#x2019;s judicious investigation of official correspondence, treaties, newspapers and magazines, diaries, and maps reveals a locally developed system of accommodation that promoted peaceful interactions but enabled violent reprisals when agreements were broken. This outstanding contribution to scholarship on early North America questions the nature and practice of imperial expansion in the face of Indigenous territorial strength. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter One: Neighbours in the Homeland \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Mapping the Spoils of Peace \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Three: A Time and a Place \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Four: A Pale on the Coast \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Five: Acadia in Paris \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Six: Map Wars and Surveyors of the Peace \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52735350702360,"sku":"9781442614055","price":25.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/homelands-and-empires-indigenous-spaces-imperial-fictions-and-competition-for-territory-in-northeastern-north-america-1690-1763-paperback-softback-9781442614055","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
