Riassunto

The close attention to attitudes concerning manliness and gender among both the English, whose histories have dominated perceptions of this era, and the Native Americans and French who they fought, provides the reader with a thought-provoking twist to received ideas about colonial New England. Little (history, Colorado State U.) examines sermons, letters, satirical prints, and other first-hand accounts of the wars, skirmishes, and daily encounters of English and non-English. Detailed treatment is devoted to imprisonment on both sides and the impact dressing in English or Indian clothing had on the wearer's self-image. The result is a fascinating and nuanced view of a profoundly anxiety-ridden period in American history. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
