This book deals with métissage in New France and Canada in the period 1508 to 1886. Métissage is understood as a syncretistic process of cultural, social and political encounter and mixture of ethnic groups that resulted from mixed marriages and relationships.

Produktbeschreibung
This book deals with métissage in New France and Canada in the period 1508 to 1886. Métissage is understood as a syncretistic process of cultural, social and political encounter and mixture of ethnic groups that resulted from mixed marriages and relationships. Those led to the rise of the Métis people in North America, which were distinguished as French-speaking Métis and English-speaking Halfbreeds. The process of mixture began in 1508, when first Indians were shipped to France with the intention to use them as multipliers of French culture on their return to the colony. In 1886, the Act of Savages legally distinguished between «Indians» and «Metis», thus marking the beginning of a mixed-blood identity in Canada that was differentiated from neighbouring Whites, Indians and Inuit. The theoretical approach of the history of concepts is employed in the longue durée to show the variance throughout four centuries.

Rezensionen
«Dans l'ensemble, l'auteure relève avec un certain brio les défis qu'entraîne une telle oeuvre de synthèse et de diachronie.(...) le lecteur trouvera un bel état des lieux relatif à l'importance et à la récurrence du métissage et du fait métis au pays, ainsi que sur les manières complexes et changeantes employées par les autorités colonials et canadiennes pour intellectualiser et contrôler cette réalité. En effet, l'originalité de ce livre repose moins sur les hypothèses posées et les résultats présentés que sur la pertinence d'une synthèse inscrite dans la longue durée. En ce sens, il est le bienvenu.» (Étienne Rivard, RECHERCHES AMÉRINDIENNES AU QUÉBEC)
«(...) Karahasan's sweeping work presents the only complete study that should help future scholars evaluate afresh the concepts of métissage and their effects on history and current politics.(...) This book challenges American historians' myopia about the American past as anchored in the English tradition only.» (CarolL. Higham, WERKSTATTGeschichte)
«Die Arbeit überzeugt durch die hohe wissenschaftliche Qualität der Analyse, welche nicht zuletzt durch die breite Literatur- und Quellenverwendung unterstrichen wird.» (Yvonne Barez, Francia-Recensio)
