SummaryAn alternative and unorthodox view of the colonization of the Americas by Europeans is offered inthis concise history. Eurocentric studies of the conquest of the Americas present colonization as acivilizing force for good, and the native populations as primitive or worse. Colonization is seen as amutually beneficial process, in which "civilization” was brought to the natives who in return sharedtheir land and cultures. The opposing historical camp views colonization as a form of genocide inwhich the native populations were passive victims overwhelmed by European military power. In thisfresh examination, an activist and historian of native descent argues that the colonial powers metresistance from the indigenous inhabitants and that these confrontations shaped the forms andextent of colonialism. This account encompasses North and South America, the development ofnation-states, and the resurgence of indigenous resistance in the post-World War II era.

Jacob's WoundA Search for the Spirit of WildnessTrevor Herriot

Contributor BioTrevor Herriot is the author of River in a Dry Land, which was highly praised by reviewers and won fourawards. A self-taught naturalist and a Catholic who has recently returned to the Church, Herriot haslived most of his life in Saskatchewan.

Summary“The prose of Jacob’s Wound is smooth and burnished, with many poetic touches and images ofstartling clarity.”—Globe and Mail

This highly acclaimed work reflects on the nature that we, and our religions, sprang from. The biblicalstory of Jacob, the patriarch of the Judeo-Christian tradition wrestling with a spirit, has beeninterpreted in a multitude of ways, but never more persuasively than by Trevor Herriot in Jacob’sWound. The central idea is that Jacob, representing the farmer and civilized man, suffers a deepwound when he swindles the birthright of Esau, representing the hunter and primitive man. Herriotqueries whether we, as Jacob did with Esau, can eventually reconcile with the wilderness that we haveconquered and have been estranged from for so long. Jacob’s Wound takes readers on an untroddenpath through history, nature, science, and theology, sharing stories and personal experiences thatbeautifully illuminate what we once were and what we have become.
