Rescuing the Seven Years' War era from the shadows of the American Revolution and moving away from the political focus that dominates Iroquois studies, historian Gail D. MacLeitch offers a fresh examination of Iroquois experience in economic and cultural terms. As land sellers, fur hunters, paid laborers, consumers, and commercial farmers, the Iroquois helped to create a new economic culture that connected the New York hinterland to a transatlantic world of commerce. By doing so they exposed themselves to both opportunities and risks.As their economic practices changed, so too did Iroquois ways of making sense of gender and ethnic differences. MacLeitch examines the formation of new cultural identities as men and women negotiated challenges to long-established gendered practices and confronted and cocreated a new racialized discourses of difference. On the frontiers of empire, Indians, as much as European settlers, colonial officials, and imperial soldiers, directed the course of events. However, as MacLeitch also demonstrates, imperial entanglements with a rising British power intent on securing native land, labor, and resources ultimately worked to diminish Iroquois economic and political sovereignty. 410 0$aEarly American studies. 606 $aIroquois Indians$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aIroquois Indians$xGovernment relations 606 $aSeven Years' War, 1756-1763 606 $aIndians of North America$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 606 $aBritish$zNorth America$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yColonial period, ca. 1600-1775 610 $aAmerican History. 610 $aAmerican Studies. 610 $aNative American Studies. 615 0$aIroquois Indians$xHistory 615 0$aIroquois Indians$xGovernment relations. 615 0$aSeven Years' War, 1756-1763. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xHistory 615 0$aBritish$xHistory 676 $a973.2 700 $aMacLeitch$b Gail D$01490613 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779473603321 996 $aImperial entanglements$93712081 997 $aUNINA
