Descriere magazin:
An imaginative retelling of
London\'s history, framed through the experiences of
Indigenous travelers who came to the city over the course of more than five centuries
London is famed both as the ancient center of a former empire and as a modern metropolis of bewildering complexity and diversity. In
Indigenous London, historian
Coll Thrush offers an imaginative vision of the city\'s past crafted from an almost entirely new perspective: that of
Indigenous children, women, and men who traveled there, willingly or otherwise, from territories that became Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the United States, beginning in the sixteenth century. They included captives and diplomats, missionaries and shamans, poets and performers. Some, like the Powhatan noblewoman Pocahontas, are familiar; others, like an Odawa boy held as a prisoner of war, have almost been lost to history. In drawing together their stories and their diverse experiences with a changing urban culture,
Thrush also illustrates how London learned to be a global, imperial city and how Indigenous people were central to that process. About the Author:
Coll Thrush is associate professor of history at the University of British Columbia, where he is also affiliated with UBC\'s Institute for Critical Indigenous Studies. He is the author of
Native Seattle: Histories from the Crossing-Over Place.
