A legacy of exploitation : early capitalism in the Red River Colony, 1763-1821

Author:	Susan Dianne Brophy
Publisher:	Vancouver : UBC Press, 2022.

Summary:	"In A Legacy of Exploitation, Susan Dianne Brophy examines the early Red River Colony to show how its history informs present-day settler-colonial relations. This critical re-evaluation upends standard accounts of the Red River Colony by foregrounding Indigenous producers as a driving force of change. As the primary producers of furs for the commercial trade, Indigenous peoples laboured in an exploitative system designed to benefit the companies. Yet the realities of the fur trade also meant that the companies could never exercise complete control over Indigenous producers. This intimate portrayal of the colony centres Indigenous peoples’ autonomy as an unwelcome fact that the Hudson’s Bay Company’s settlement at Red River intended to disrupt. A Legacy of Exploitation offers a comprehensive account of legal, economic, and geopolitical relations to show how autonomy can become distorted as complicity in processes of dispossession. Brophy’s unflinching assessment lays bare the myths of pre-Confederation adventuring and the cruel reality of early settler-colonialism in Canada."--  Read more...
