9781850656777 - Alaska: An American Colony von Haycox, Stephen W. (6 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Despite its remoteness, Alaska has been part of larger stories - of the movement of Native peoples and their contact and accommodation to Western culture, of the spread of European political economy to the New World, and of the expansion of American capitalism. "Alaska: an American Colony" focuses on Russian America and American Alaska, bringing the history of Alaska up to the present and exploring the continuing impact of the Alaska Native claims settlement, the trans-Alaska pipeline and the Alaska lands act. In contrast to the stereotype of Alaska as a place where rugged individuals triumph over the harsh environment, Stephen Haycox offers a less romantic, more complex history that emphasizes the broader national and international contexts of Alaska's past and the similarities between Alaska and the American West. Covering Alaska's cultural, political, economic and environmental history, the book also includes an anthropology of its Native peoples. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
