He focuses on this unique historical moment when early capitalist civilization (modernity) in colonial societies, especially the British, interacted closely with Indigenous communities (the "Other") before the balance of power shifted definitively toward the colonizers. Sayre considers a variety of French perspectives as a counterpoint to the Anglo-American lens, including J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur and Philip Freneau, as well as both Anglo-American and French or French Canadian travelers in "Indian territory," including William Bartram, Jonathan Carver, John Lawson, Alexander Mackenzie, Baron de Lahontan, Pierre Charlevoix and Jean-Baptiste Trudeau. Modernity and Its Other is an important addition to any North American historian's bookshelf, for it brings together the social history of the European colonies and the ethnohistory of the American Indian peoples who interacted with the colonizers."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Crevecoeur: British America before and during the Revolutionary Upheaval -- Philip Freneau: After the Revolution -- Moreau de Saint-Mery: Fin de Siecle -- The Zero Degree of the Other: Indian Violence and "Adventure" with Indians -- Accounts of Travel in New France: Lahontan and Charlevoix -- Anglo-American Travelers: John Lawson and Jonathan Carver -- Travels of William Bartram, Quaker Botanist -- Fur Traders: Alexander Mackenzie and Jean-Baptiste Trudeau -- Epilogue: Into the Nineteenth Century- George Catlin. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x First contact with Europeans. 650 0 $a Travelers' writings, European $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Europeans $x History $z North America $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x History $y 18th century. 651 0 $a North America $x European. $x European. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / Native American Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / Colonial Period (1600-1775). $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Discovery and exploration, European. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01352763 650 7 $a Europeans $x Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916831 650 7 $a Indians of North America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969633 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x First contact with Europeans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969743 650 7 $a Travelers' writings, European. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155740 651 7 $a North America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01242475 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Sayre, Robert, 1943- author. $t Modernity and its other $d Lincoln : University of Nebraska Press, 2017 $z 9781496204776 $w (DLC) 2017035683 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231219011302.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=775415A0580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
