Straddling history and literary studies, Sharon Salinger peels away how European authors cast the exchanges to reveal a \"dialogue between cultures.\" What emerges are two groups of equal standing, motivated by different cultural impulses. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Salinger shows, French assessments were often contradictory: the Natives were cannibals, but also noble; they were without religion but also devil worshipers. At the same time, Indigenous Americans hurled a range of critiques toward the French, from mocking the absurdity of French clothing to articulately rejecting assimilation and Christianity, even with its promise of heaven. In the end, Salinger reveals a cultural dissonance that portended the failure of the French ambition to transform the Americas into a \"New France.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Virginia Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52563742523672,"sku":"9780813955216","price":25.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/perceived-in-print-indigenous-american-and-french-ideas-of-the-other-paperback-softback-9780813955216","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
