Descriere completă

"Coastal Encounters" brings together leading experts and emerging scholars to provide a portrait of the complex and fascinating Gulf South in the eighteenth century. The book depicts the remarkable transitions - demographic, cultural, social, political, and economic - that took place from the Atlantic coast of Florida to the Gulf coast of Mexico during this period. These changes are examined from multiple perspectives, including those of Native Americans, Europeans, and Africans; colonizers and colonized; men and women. Daniel H. Usner provides a comprehensive essay on the historiography of the colonial Gulf South. Amy Turner Bushnell and Jane Landers explore cultural collisions and changing geopolitics in eighteenth-century Florida. David Wheat and Karl Davis treat African and Native American agency in southwest Alabama. Greg O'Brien interprets Choctaw and Chickasaw diplomacy in the transition from French to British rule. Shannon Lee Dawdy and Virginia Gould skillfully portray early New Orleans, while H. Sophie Burton and Andrew McMichael do the same for Natchitoches and Baton Rouge, respectively. Armando C. Alonzo portrays the thriving Mexican colony of Nuevo Santander. In the concluding essay, noted colonial scholar Ida Altman reflects on the significance of these essays and suggests new scholarly directions.
