Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
An ambitious study of an important, but difficult-to-reach dimension of European colonialism in America. The systematic comparison of the port towns of Quebec, New Orleans, and St Pierre is in itself a major contribution, but Banks' analysis offers much more. He explores an array of texts and information generated by the mundane operation of empire through the exciting lens of new cultural history, providing vital material and interpretation for a better comparative understanding of imperial communications systems across space and time. Daniel H. Usner, Jr., Department of History, Cornell University "The comparative nature of the study is most welcome. Histories that compare and contrast the different parts of the French colonial world are few and far between. Banks is to be congratulated for having undertaken and ambitious inter-colonial study." A.J.B Johnston, author of Life and Religion at Louisbourg Read more...
