Description 1 online resource (xiii, 411 pages) : illustrations, 1 map Summary "With this reinterpretation of early cultural encounters between the English and American natives, Joyce E. Chaplin thoroughly alters our 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 center 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."--Jacket Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 327-389) and index Notes Master and use copy.
