An acclaimed historian offers a fresh perspective on imperialism in early America, exploring the complex and often chaotic interactions between white colonists and Native Americans along the frontier. Drawing on insights from Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, the book challenges traditional narratives by portraying imperialism as bewildering and violent, akin to European colonization in Africa. Parkinson's work reshapes our understanding of American history and its enduring implications for the present.
