Title: Dutch-Munsee encounter in America. The struggle for sovereignty in the Hudson Valley.
Description: New York, Berghahn, 2006. XIII,225 pp. 6 b./w. figs & 6 b./w. maps. Orig. hardcover (boards). 8vo. - Partly removed stamp on first endpaper. (European Expansion & Global Interaction, 3). Employing a frontier framework, this book traces intercultural relations in the lower Hudson River valley of early seventeenth-century New Netherland. It explores the interaction between the Dutch and the Munsee Indians and considers how they, and individuals within each group, interacted, focusing in particular on how the changing colonial landscape affected their cultural encounter and Munsee cultural development. At each stage of European colonization - first contact, trade, and settlement - the Munsees faced evolving and changing challenges.
