Description:	Indeed one of the great values of this volume lies in its sheer geographical scope. In framing the great transformation through the lenses of archaeology, material culture studies, anthropology and political economy, the contributors to this volume have together presented the commonalities as well as the regional specificities of Euro-American culture contact in an area stretching all the way from the Basque fishing stations of Eastern Canada to the Spanish Enlightenment-inspired utopian colony of Floridablanca in Patagonia. In place of the timeworn binary oppositions of Europeans and native peoples, the essays in this volume show how profound were the local, improvised and creative responses to alien understandings of gender, faith, race, and social hierarchy. Moreover, the authors’ empirical evidence from the contact period clearly contradicts the belief that history proceeded in only one direction with the Europeans’ arrival. In the colonial encounter, all peoples were shaped by, and participated in the profound reshaping of landscapes and social environments
