It makes a controversial intervention by demonstrating that the true tragedy of colonial relations was precisely the genuineness of benevolence, and not its cynical exploitation or subordination to other ends that was often the compelling force behind conflict and suffering. It was because the English genuinely believed that the Indians were their equals in body and mind that they fatally tried to embrace them. From an intellectual exploration of the abstract ideas of human rights in colonial America and the grounded realities of the politics that existed there to a narrative of how these ideas played out in relations between the two peoples in the early years of the colony, this book challenges and subverts current understanding of English colonialpolitics and religion. | | 出版日期 | Book 2017 | | 关键词 | native American relations with English settlers; religion in early America; Pocahontas; civility and Ch | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-46197-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-83466-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-46197-7 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s) 2017 |
