The New Peoples: Being and Becoming Métis in North AmericaJacqueline Peterson, Jennifer S. H. Brown This is the first major work to explore in a North American context the dimensions and meanings of a process fundamental to the European invasion and colonisation of the western hemisphere: the intermingling of European and Native American peoples. This book is not about racial mixture, however, but rather about ethnogenesis -- about how new peoples, new ethnicities, and new nationalities come into being. |
