Seventeenth-century New England Puritans, themselves exiled from one society, ruthlessly invoked the law of banishment from another: over time, hundreds of people were forcibly excluded from this developing but sparsely settled colony. Nan Goodman suggests that the methods of banishment rivaled-even overpowered-contractual and constitutional methods of inclusion as the means of defining people and place. The law and rhetoric that enacted the exclusion of certain parties, she contends, had the inverse effect of strengthening the connections and collective identity of those that remained. Banished investigates the practices of social exclusion and its implications through the lens of the period's common law. For Goodman, common law is a site of negotiation where the concepts of community and territory are more fluid and elastic than has previously been assumed for Puritan society. Her legal history brings fresh insight to well-known as well as more obscure banishment cases, including those of Anne Hutchinson, Roger Williams, Thomas Morton, the Quakers, and the Indians banished to Deer Island during King Philip's War. Many of these cases were driven less by the religious violations that may have triggered them than by the establishment of rules for membership in a civil society. Law provided a language for the Puritans to know and say who they were-and who they were not. Banished reveals the Puritans' previously neglected investment in the legal rhetoric that continues to shape our understanding of borders, boundaries, and social exclusion. 606 $aExile (Punishment)$zNew England$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aCommon law$zNew England$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aPuritans$zNew England$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aNew England$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 607 $aNew England$xCivilization$y17th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aExile (Punishment)$xHistory 615 0$aCommon law$xHistory 615 0$aPuritans$xHistory 676 $a974/.02 700 $aGoodman$b Nan$f1957-$01031185 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463578603321 996 $aBanished$92448430 997 $aUNINA
