{"product_id":"natives-and-newcomers-james-axtell-9780195137712","title":"Natives and Newcomers: The Cultural Origins of North America","description":"In the past thirty years historians have come to realize that the shape and temper of early America was determined as much by its Indian natives as it was by its European colonizers. No one has done more to discover and recount this story than James Axtell, one of America's premier ethnohistorians. \u003cem\u003eNatives and Newcomers\u003c\/em\u003e is a collection of fifteen of his best and most influential essays, available for the first time in one volume. In accessible and often witty prose, Axtell describes the major encounters between Indians and Europeans--first contacts, communications, epidemics, trade and gift-giving, social and sexual mingling, work, cultural and religious conversions, military clashes--and probes their short- and long-term consequences for both cultures. The result is a book that shows how encounters between Indians and Europeans ultimately led to the birth of a distinctly American identity. \u003cem\u003eNatives and Newcomers\u003c\/em\u003e is an essential text for undergraduate and graduate courses in Colonial American history and Native American history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Axtell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 019513771X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195137712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.22w x 0.78d","brand":"James Axtell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44119410737407,"sku":"9780195137712","price":117.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5890ec48-7110-4578-8118-9dd68cf0196e.jpg?v=1687409191","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/natives-and-newcomers-james-axtell-9780195137712","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
