Usually viewed in isolation, these societies are covered here in a single account, in which the authors show how the peoples of the region constructed their own identities and influenced those of their neighbours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy broadening the focus to the regional level, this volume develops analyses—of economic, social, and political history—which transcend national boundaries. The result is a compelling work that both describes the aspirations of European settlers and reveals how the dispossessed and marginalised indigenous peoples negotiated their own lives as best they could. The authors demonstrate that these stories are not separate but rather strands of a single history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Blackwell History of the World Series\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe goal of this ambitious series is to provide an accessible source of knowledge about the entire human past, for every curious person in every part of the world. It will comprise some two dozen volumes, some of which provide synoptic views of the history of particular regions while others consider the world as a whole during a specific period of time. The volumes are narrative in form, giving balanced attention to social and cultural history (in the broadest sense) as well as to institutional development and political change. Each provides a systematic account of a very large subject, but they are also both imaginative and interpretative. The series is intended to be accessible to the widest possible readership, and the accessibility of its volumes is matched by the style of presentation and production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"John Wiley and Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000521146604,"sku":"9780631218739","price":242.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/20061913482412.jpg?v=1763280760"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/philippa-mein-smith.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
