WINNER 2022 PULITZER PRIZE IN HISTORYWinner Francis Parkman Prize (Society of American Historians)Finalist National Book Award for NonfictionBest Books of the Year TIME, Smithsonian, Boston Globe, Kirkus ReviewsThe Pulitzer Prize-winning history that transforms a single event in 1722 into an unparalleled portrait of early America.In the winter of 1722, on the eve of a major conference between the Five Nations of the Haudenosaunee (also known as the Iroquois) and Anglo-American colonists, a pair of colonial fur traders brutally assaulted a Seneca hunter near Conestoga, Pennsylvania. Though virtually forgotten today, the crime ignited a contest between Native American forms of justice-rooted in community, forgiveness, and reparations-and the colonial ideology of harsh reprisal that called for the accused killers to be executed if found guilty. In Covered with Night, historian Nicole Eustace reconstructs the attack and its aftermath, introducing a group of unforgettable individuals-from the slain mans resilient widow to an Indigenous diplomat known as Captain Civility to the scheming governor of Pennsylvania-as she narrates a remarkable series of criminal investigations and cross-cultural negotiations. Taking its title from a Haudenosaunee metaphor for mourning, Covered with Night ultimately urges us to consider Indigenous approaches to grief and condolence, rupture and repair, as we seek new avenues of justice in our own era.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. In the summer of 1722, on the eve of a conference between the Five Nations of the Iroquois and British-American colonists, two colonial fur traders brutally attacked an Indigenous hunter in colonial Pennsylvania. The crime set the entire mid-Atlantic on edge, with many believing that war was imminent. Frantic efforts to resolve the case created a contest between Native American forms of justice, centered on community, forgiveness, and reparations, and an ideology of harsh reprisal, based on British law, that called for the killers' execution. In a stunning narrative history based on painstaking original research, acclaimed historian Nicole Eustace reconstructs the crime and its aftermath, taking us into the worlds of Euro-Americans and Indigenous peoples in this formative period. A feat of reclamation evoking Laurel Thatcher Ulrich's A Midwife's Tale and Alan Taylor's William Cooper's Town, Eustace's utterly absorbing account provides a new understanding of Indigenous forms of justice, with lessons for our era.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. 1st Edition. On the eve of a major treaty conference between Iroquois leaders and European colonists in the distant summer of 17622, two white fur traders attacked an Indigenous hunter and left him for dead near Conestoga, Pennsylvania. Though virtually forgotten today, this act of brutality set in motion a remarkable series of criminal investigations and cross-cultural negotiations that challenged the definition of justice in early America. In Covered with Night, leading historian Nicole Eustace reconstructs the crime and its aftermath, bringing us into the overlapping worlds of European colonists and Indigenous peoples in this formative period. As she shows, the murder of the Indigenous man set the entire mid-Atlantic on edge, with many believing war was imminent. Isolated killings often flared into colonial wars in North America, and colonists now anticipated a vengeful Indigenous uprising. Frantic efforts to resolve the case ignited a dramatic debate between Native American forms of justice -- centered on community, forgiveness, and reparations -- and an ideology of harsh reprisal, unique to the colonies and based on British law, which called for the killers' swift execution. In charting the ramifications of the murder, Covered with Night -- a phrase from Iroquois mourning practices -- overturns persistent assumptions about "civilized" Europeans and "savage" Native Americans. As Eustace powerfully contends, the colonial obsession with "civility" contradicted the reality that the Iroquois, far from being the barbarians of the white imagination, acted with sophistication and humanity as they tried to make the land- and power-hungry colonists understand their ways. In truth, Eustace reveals, the Iroquois -- the Six Nations of the Haudenosaunee, as they are known today -- saw the killing as an opportunity to forge stronger bonds with the colonists. They argued for restorative justice and for reconciliation between the two sides, even as the mourned the deceased. An absorbing chronicle built around an extraordinary group of characters -- from the slain man's resilient widow to the Indigenous diplomat known as "Captain Civility" to the scheming governor of Pennsylvania -- Covered with Night transforms a single event into an unforgettable portrait of early America. A necessary work of historical reclamation, it ultimately revives a lost vision of crime and punishment that reverberates down into our own time. N� de r�f. du vendeur 001926
