Editorial Reviews:
Review:"More than just a formidable work of historical synthesis, AMERICAN COLONIES provokes us to contemplate the ways in which residents of North America have dealt with diversity. For if we marvel at the extraordinary achievements of colonial peoples, whether they were precipitating, resisting or simply enduring fundamental change, we also lament their extraordinary capacity for misunderstanding, misrepresenting and mistreating one another. Cruelty more than cooperation defined colonialism. Held up as a distant mirror, the histories of American colonies suggest that for us, as for them, the most difficult challenge is to summon the will to sustain trust in the face of fear."
Andrew R. L. Cayton, New York Times Book Review, 12/02/2001
Review:"Plenty of recent historical scholarship has begun to fill in the gaps left by tradition. now Alan Taylor has produced a history of the colonial period in the USA which attempts to do justice to the revised perspective. It is easily the best available book on the subject, offering a genuinely plural vision of how the USA was made, and frankly branding US history as imperial, but its revisionism does not go far enough."
Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, Literary Review, February 2002

American Colonies: v. 1: The Settlement of North America to 1800 (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780142002100) Taylor, Alan Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Penguin Books Ltd, United Kingdom, 2003. Paperback. Book Condition: New. Reprint. 234 x 154 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. "American Colonies" starts with the earliest years of human colonization of the American continent and environs with the Siberian migrations across the Bering Strait 15,000 years ago. It ends in around 1800 when the rough outline of the contemporary North America could be perceived. Dropping the usual Anglo centric description of North America's fate, Taylor brilliantly conveys the far more vivid and startling story of the competing interests - Spanish, French, English, Native, Russian - that over the centuries shaped and reshaped both the continent and its 'suburbs' in the Caribbean and the Pacific. It is one of the greatest of all human stories. Bookseller Inventory # APG9780142002100 Bookseller & Payment Information | More Books from this Seller | Ask Bookseller a Question |
