Richter offers an insightful and . . . innovative look at the history of Native and Euro-American interactions from the sixteenth to the early nineteenth centuries. For a historian who could easily rest on his laurels, Richter continues to challenge scholars of early and Native America to widen their thematic and chronological gaze, or as Richter demonstrates in this book, to recognize the history of colonial and indigenous North America as inevitably and intimately intertwined.\" (\u003ci\u003eSouthern Historian\u003c\/i\u003e) \"\u003ci\u003eTrade, Land, Power\u003c\/i\u003e reveals an accretion of powerful concerns that gripped Native Americans and Europeans in early America: trade, power, land, and-gradually-race and racism.

For Native Americans, trade was a collective act. The alliances that made a people powerful became visible through material exchanges that forged connections among kin groups, villages, and the spirit world. The land itself was often conceived as a participant in these transactions through the blessings it bestowed on those who gave in return. For colonizers, by contrast, power tended to grow from the individual accumulation of goods and landed property more than from collective exchange-from domination more than from alliance. For many decades, an uneasy balance between the two systems of power prevailed.\u003cbr\u003e Tracing the messy process by which global empires and their colonial populations could finally abandon compromise and impose their definitions on the continent, Daniel K. Richter casts penetrating light on the nature of European colonization, the character of Native resistance, and the formative roles that each played in the origins of the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e PART I.
