Since the early colonial period, historians have been fascinated with North America's borderlands - places where people interacted across multiple, independent political and legal systems. Today the scholarship on these regions is more robust and innovative than ever before.

North American Borderlands

introduces students to exemplary recent scholarship on this vital topic, showcasing work that delves into the complexities of borderland relationships. Essays range from the seventeenth through the late twentieth century, touch on nearly every region of the continent, and represent a variety of historical approaches and preoccupations. Anchored by a substantial introduction that walks students through the terminology and historiography, the collection presents the major debates and questions most prominent in the field today.

Industry Reviews

"North American Borderlands provides a marvelous overview of the dynamic, multivocal, contested spaces that defined much of the continent's thistorical experience. There is no better introduction to the subject."

--Daniel K. Richter, McNeil Center for Early American Studies, University of Pennsylvania

"Focusing on the complex relationships that developed between peoples in "zones of plural sovereignty", this illuminating anthology brings together some of the most influential scholarship of the last two decades to showcase the "shared stories" that have shaped North America's many borderlands - and molded North American history - from the seventeenth century to the present."

--Stephen Aron, author of The Missouri Frontier from Borderland to Border State
