Insatiable Hunger: Colonial Encounters in Context Graham Joseph
An exploration of the worldviews that underpinned settler colonialism.The sixteenth-century European wars of religion set the stage for mass migration to the New World. Insatiable Hunger compares European historical accounts and Indigenous stories of contact to illustrate the wide cultural chasm that separated the two civilizations. Of course, there was nothing new about the New World to Indigenous peoples who had lived there for millennia.
Tracing events from Jacques Cartier's first visits in the sixteenth century to the War of 1812, Insatiable Hunger attempts to understand the root causes of the mutual incomprehension baked into these two civilizations' Joseph Graham tells a story of religiously obsessed Europeans pouring onto the continent and consuming everything in their path and the attempts Indigenous peoples made to reason with the hungry newcomers.
