| New York Times Book Review: "More than just a formidable work of historical synthesis, AMERICAN COLONIES provokes us to contemplate the ways in which residents of North America have dealt with diversity.

Cruelty more than cooperation defined colonialism. Held up as a distant mirror, the histories of American colonies suggest that for us, as for them, the most difficult challenge is to summon the will to sustain trust in the face of fear." | ||
