Beskrivning

Central to this argument is that the Ulster plantation bears more comparisons to European expansion throughout the Atlantic than (as some historians have argued) the early-modern state’s consolidation of control over its peripheral territories.

Recensioner i media

"This is an impressive and satisfying book. … Farrell’s approach has been inspired by American scholars who have shown an interest in and sensitivity to the ‘Indian side’ of native-colonist encounters in North America. … He highlights many interesting parallels between the interactions between the English colonists and the native peoples of Virginia, New England andUlster.” (Henry Jefferies,Irish Historical Studies, Vol. 43 (163), May, 2019)“The book is intensively researched and its well-wrought argument is compelling and convincing ... this work provides an enlightening and essential new strand to the discourse of the plantation and will prove indispensable to our understanding and continuing research of the period.” (James O’Neill, History Ireland, July-August, 2018)
