Description: This carefully collected volume of eight essays and 24 supporting documents allows access to the best and latest scholarship on mainland British North America. This book demonstrates how differences in race, ethnicity, gender, and social status were continuously negotiated throughout England's North American colonies.
Review Quotes: "Here we have eight eminently discussible articles, each one matched with three substantial, thoughtfully edited primary sources, and introductory notes that invite rather than inhibit analysis. Who could ask for more? A superb reader." Fred Anderson, University of Colorado at Boulder
"A deft, highly satisfying collection of original sources and trenchant scholarship that gets to the heart of colonial experience in early America." Jon Butler, Yale University
