The process, unconfined to the British Isles, ran across the Irish Sea and Atlantic Ocean and was played out in North America and the Caribbean. The identities of Irish Catholics or Highland Scots who took part in the imperial venture abroad were subject to constant renegotiation. In the process, the indigenous peoples of North America, the Caribbean, the Cape, Australia, and New Zealand were forced to redefine their own identities. Although the encounter was far from equal, it was by no means simple or monolithic \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis collection explores the many complex ways in which identities were forged within Britain and among indigenous peoples through a process of collision and compromise. Contributions from Africa, Australia, and both sides of the Atlantic deal with different aspects of these encounters-for example, \"Native Americans and Early Modern Concepts of Race\" and \"Hunting and the Politics of Masculinity in Cherokee Treaty-making, 1763-1775.\" \u003ci\u003eEmpire and Others\u003c\/i\u003e provides a valuable study that will be of particular interest to students of Colonial American history and early modern British history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors to the volume include Philip Morgan, Christopher Bayly, Andrew Porter, Hilary Beckles, and Peter Way.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartin Daunton is Professor of Economic History at the University of Cambridge.
