Book Overview

With this sweeping reinterpretation of early cultural encounters between the English and American natives, Joyce E. Chaplin alters the historical view of the origins of English presumptions of racial superiority, and of the role science and technology played in shaping these notions. By placing the history of science and medicine at the very centre of the story of early English colonization, Chaplin shows how contemporary European theories of nature and science dramatically influenced relations between the English and Indians within the formation of the British Empire.
