In the traditional narrative of American colonial history, early European settlements, as well as native peoples and African slaves, were treated in passing as unfortunate aberrations in a fundamentally upbeat story of Englishmen becoming freer and more prosperous by colonizing an abundant continent of “free land”.
Over the last generation, historians have broadened our understanding of colonial America by adopting both a trans-Atlantic and a trans-continental perspective, examining the interplay of Europe, Africa, and the Americas through the flow of goods, people, plants, animals, capital, and ideas. In this Very Short Introduction, Alan Taylor presents an engaging overview of the best of this new scholarship. He shows that American colonization derived from a global expansion of European exploration and commerce that began in the 15th century. The English had to share the stage with the French, Spanish, Dutch, and Russians, each of whom created alternative Americas. By comparing the diverse colonies of rival empires, Taylor recovers what was truly distinctive about the English enterprise in North America. He focuses especially on slavery as central to the economy, culture, and political thought of the colonists and restores the importance of native peoples to the colonial story.

Great mini-history series. Thank you so much.

Just finished this. Shocking to say what passes for scholarly works these days.

Are people really ignorant of history to believe the garbage spewed from political activist Alan Taylor?
June 29th, 2021
@BlitzEpidemic you seem confused. The only Alan Taylor who identifies as (or has been called) a political activist specialises in the area of music. This author is a historian and a scholar.

Obamasux “what someone else has worked for”? Do you mean illegally downloading books. That sounds like socialism to me :)

Hey meinsteins, someone can be an historian and scholar and still be an activist spreading lies. Please use your brain the next time you respond to my comments.

@BlitzEpidemic so you’ve read/listened to it and knowledgable enough in the field to tell us which parts are untrue then? The floor is all yours, enlighten us.

The cover is a famed impressionistic piece, Whatever you do don’t hit the Blue, by Snooker legend Denis Taylor. Alan might hate America from all the years he spent inside picking the balls out for his dad?

More leftist BS says he…pushing “What is your fair share of what someone else has worked for?” question my ancestors inquired time and again of their benevolent keepers…

@Rosco man - I always think that the covers of these handy little handbooks owe a lot to Rothko’s work. Nice little design (superlative brushstrokes, dontcha know).
