Bodies Politic

Negotiating Race in the American North, 1730-1830
John Wood Sweet

Early America: History, Context, Culture
Joyce E. Chaplin and Philip D. Morgan, Series Editors

Finalist for the 2004 Frederick Douglass Prize

A century after the Pilgrims' landing, the ongoing interactions of conquered Indians, English settlers, and enslaved Africans in southern New England had produced a closely interwoven, though radically divided, colonial society. In Bodies Politic, John Wood Sweet argues that the coming together of these diverse peoples profoundly shaped the character of colonial New England, the meanings of the Revolution in the North and the making of American democracy.

Mellon Foundation. The series focuses on the history of North America from contact to the Mexican War, locating historical developments in the specific places where they occurred and were contested. Though these developments often involved far-flung parts of the world, they were experienced in particular communities-the local places where people lived, worked, and made sense of their changing worlds. By restricting its focus to smaller geographic scales, but stressing that towns, colonies, and regions were part of much larger networks, Early American Places will combine up-to-date scholarly sophistication with an emphasis on local particularities and trajectories. Books in the series will be exclusively revised dissertations.

Mutti Burke tackles a region of the antebellum South rarely examined, and the dividends are rich. From her, we learn a great deal about the dynamics of slavery on small slaveholding farms. This is a book that will be read with enormous profit by historians of the Old South specifically, of slavery generally.”—Mark M.

KootBritish Colonists, Anglo-Dutch Trade, and the Development of the British Atlantic, 1621-1713NYU Press | Spring 2011In Empire at the Periphery, Christian J. Koot examines the networks that connected British settlers in New York and the Caribbean and Dutch traders in the Netherlands and in the Dutch colonies in North America and the Caribbean, demonstrating that these interimperial relationships formed a core part of commercial activity in the early Atlantic World, operating alongside British trade. Koot provides unique consideration of how local circumstances shaped imperial development, reminding us that empires consisted not only of elites dictating imperial growth from world capitals, but also of ordinary settlers in far-flung colonial outposts, who often had more in common with-and a greater reliance on-people from foreign empires who shared their experiences of living at the edge of a fragile, transitional world.[Image] [ http://pull.xmr3.com/p/1431-88D4/95903073/html012-nyupress.orgbook-details.aspx.html ][Image][ http://pull.xmr3.com/p/1431-4BD5/95903077/html013-nyupress.orgbook-details.aspx.html ]Colonization and Its Discontents Beverly TomekEmancipation, Emigration, and Antislavery in Antebellum PennsylvaniaNYU Press | Spring 2011"Perhaps better than any other work, [Tomek] shows that antislavery was a wide ranging movement - and one continually haunted by the idea of racial control."-Richard S.
