Imperatives, Behaviors, and Identities: Essays in Early American Cultural History

Jack P. Greene

4.9/5 (27630 ratings)

Description:Imperatives, Behaviors, and Identities looks at aspects of the formation and development of English or, after 1707, British-American cultural spaces during the colonial and Revolutionary eras. It focuses on the special character of those new and rapidly changing spaces as dependent and derivative entities on the far periphery of the established core culture in England. Stressing the extent to which each of them was the product of a distinctive physical space and set of socio-economic and political circumstances, the work examines some of the ways in which those circumstances affected emerging social priorities and operated to produce cultures that both diverged sharply from that of Britain and need to be understood and analyzed in their own terms."No one has given more thought to the dynamic processes of colonial settlement than Jack P. Greene. Here in a collection of essays focussing on the southern and Caribbean colonies, he demonstrates once more his very special talent for combining fresh and arresting analytical categories with persuasive substantive detail." - Joyce Appleby, UCLA"In this superb collection of interlocking essays, Jack P. Greene explores themes of colonial, regional, and national identity as they took shape in British America between the 17th century and the American Revolution. Deeply reflective and broadly researched, his efforts ought to engage any reader with an interest in questions of identity, liberty, equality, mastery, and resistance within multi-cultural colonial environments." - John M.
