Native Americans and Anglo-American Culture, 17501850 Summary

Native Americans and Anglo-American Culture, 17501850: The Indian Atlantic by Tim Fulford (Nottingham Trent University)

Investigating a transatlantic culture that flourished in Great Britain and North America between 1750 and 1850, this collection explains how complex relationships between Britons, Native Americans and Anglo-Americans shaped the literature and history of the age. This shaping role has all too often been ignored or misconstrued by literary critics and historians. The book's chapters examine literary texts, travel accounts, traders' memoirs, historical documents, captivity narratives, autobiographies, newspaper articles, and visual arts. Its contributors chart the rise and fall of mixed communities living on the margins of white and Indian settlements, examining the role of 'cultural brokers' who used their expertise in both white and Indian cultures to mediate between them.

'[This book's] particularly broad-ranging challenge to boundaries of nation, race, discipline, and subfield makes a remarkable contribution [The book] skilfully exploits the anthology's ability to storm multiple academic barricades simultaneously.' Literature and History
