| Zusammenfassung: | "Ahead of the 400th anniversary of the first Thanksgiving, a new look at the Plymouth colony's founding events, told for the first time with Wampanoag people at the heart of the story. In March 1621, when Plymouth's survival was hanging in the balance, the Wampanoag sachem (or chief), Ousamequin (Massasoit), and Plymouth's governor, John Carver, declared their people's friendship for each other and a commitment to mutual defense. Later that autumn, the English gathered their first successful harvest and lifted the specter of starvation. Ousmaequin and 90 of his men then visited Plymouth for the 'First Thanksgiving.' The treaty remained operative until King Philip's War in 1675, when 50 years of uneasy peace between the two parties would come to an end. 400 years after that famous meal, historian David J. Silverman sheds profound new light on the events that led to the creation, and bloody dissolution, of this alliance. Focusing on the Wampanoag Indians, Silverman deepens the narrative to consider tensions that developed well before 1620 and lasted long after the devastating war-tracing the Wampanoags' ongoing struggle for self-determination up to this very day. This unsettling history reveals why some modern Native people hold a Day of Mourning on Thanksgiving, a holiday which celebrates a myth of colonialism and white proprietorship of the United States. This Land is Their Land shows that it is time to rethink how we, as a pluralistic nation, tell the history of Thanksgiving"-- In March 1621, when Plymouth's survival was hanging in the balance, the Wampanoag sachem (or chief), Ousamequin (Massasoit), and Plymouth's governor, John Carver, declared their people's friendship for each other and a commitment to mutual defense.

The treaty remained operative until King Philip's War in 1675, when 50 years of uneasy peace between the two parties would come to an end. 400 years after that famous meal, historian David J. Silverman sheds profound new light on the events that led to the creation, and bloody dissolution, of this alliance. Focusing on the Wampanoag Indians, Silverman deepens the narrative to consider tensions that developed well before 1620 and lasted long after the devastating war-tracing the Wampanoags' ongoing struggle for self-determination up to this very day. This unsettling history reveals why some modern Native people hold a Day of Mourning on Thanksgiving, a holiday which celebrates a myth of colonialism and white proprietorship of the United States. This Land is Their Land shows that it is time to rethink how we, as a pluralistic nation, tell the history of Thanksgiving"-- In March 1621, when Plymouth's survival was hanging in the balance, the Wampanoag sachem (or chief), Ousamequin (Massasoit), and Plymouth's governor, John Carver, declared their people's friendship for each other and a commitment to mutual defense. When the English gathered their first successful harvest and lifted the specter of starvation, Ousmaequin and 90 of his men visited Plymouth for the "First Thanksgiving." 400 years after that famous meal, Silverman focuses on the Wampanoag Indians as he examines the creation-- and bloody dissolution-- of their alliance. This history reveals why some modern Native people hold a Day of Mourning on Thanksgiving, a holiday celebrating the white proprietorship of the United States. -- adapted from jacket Geschichte 1600-1699 gnd rswk-swf Wampanoag (DE-588)4275279-6 gnd rswk-swf Thanksgiving Day (DE-588)4699215-7 gnd rswk-swf Massachusetts (DE-588)4037858-5 gnd rswk-swf Wampanoag Indians / Massachusetts / History / 17th century Thanksgiving Day / History Indians of North America / First contact with Europeans / Massachusetts HISTORY / United States / Colonial Period (1600-1775) HISTORY / Native American Indians of North America / First contact with Europeans Race relations Thanksgiving Day Wampanoag Indians Massachusetts Pilgrims (New England colonists) Massachusetts / History 1600-1699 History Massachusetts (DE-588)4037858-5 g Wampanoag (DE-588)4275279-6 s Thanksgiving Day (DE-588)4699215-7 s Geschichte 1600-1699 z DE-604 Digitalisierung UB Passau - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032448798&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
