摘要

以下是内容的简要摘录,以代替摘要:评论者: 普利茅斯殖民地:Lisa Brooks 和 Kelly Wisecup 编辑的《普利茅斯殖民地:从 "五月花号 "到菲利普国王战争期间英国人定居和原住民反抗的叙述》 Ryan Carr (bio) 普利茅斯殖民地:从 "五月花号 "到菲利普国王战争期间英国人定居和原住民反抗的叙述》(Plymouth Colony:从 "五月花号 "到菲利普国王战争期间英国人定居和土著人反抗的叙述》,由丽莎-布鲁克斯和凯莉-维塞卡普编辑 美国图书馆,2022 年 1266 页。这本巨著内容奇特、异彩纷呈、引人入胜。普利茅斯殖民地》由美国图书馆出版,恰逢 "五月花号 "抵达北美四百周年,该书由丽莎-布鲁克斯和凯利-维塞卡普主编,他们是研究东北部土著居民的两位顶尖学者,他们收集了大量原始资料,邀请读者重新思考该书的主题。本书导言的副标题 "帕图赛特的普利茅斯 "宣布了编辑的主要目标:该书很好地实现了这一目标,将殖民地的历史重新整合为一个相对 "短暂 "的插曲,它发生在被殖民者称为 "新英格兰"(xv, 1021)东南部的万帕诺亚格人和其他民族的家园中。该书收录了几篇著名的殖民地文章(詹姆斯-罗西耶的《真实的关系》、爱德华-温斯洛的《来自新英格兰的好消息》、威廉-布拉德福德的《普利莫斯种植园》、托马斯-莫顿的《新英伦迦南》和玛丽-罗兰森的《上帝的主权与仁慈》等),其最重要的学术贡献是将这些文章与鲜为人知的文章一起出版,这些文章反映了从 17 世纪初至今土著居民在普利茅斯周边地区帕图赛特的历史作用。布鲁克斯最近关于菲利普国王战争的研究《我们挚爱的亲属》(耶鲁大学出版社,2018 年)引用了其中一些文本,但在此首次全文发表。其中包括契约和条约、原住民和定居者领袖召开的会议记录、受万帕诺格人口述传统启发而创作的故事、菲利普国王战争期间撰写的外交信函,以及后来东北原住民作家对 17 世纪动荡事件的反思。这里缺少一些鲱鱼塘万帕诺亚格人关于普利茅斯的著作,包括收集和翻译在 Ives Goddard 和 Kathleen Bragdon 的 Native Writings in Massachusett(《美国哲学学会回忆录》,第 185 卷,1988 年)中的著作,这些著作记录了美洲原住民社区最早接受新教传教的一些经历。布鲁克斯和维塞卡普并没有声称他们的选文详尽无遗,他们的所有选文都值得一读。这本书的结尾是万帕诺亚格族作家兼历史学家琳达-库姆斯(Linda Coombs)的一篇文章,她对普利茅斯建城四百年来殖民地知识生产的 "大胆 "进行了诊断,"好像原住民只是研究或讨论的对象,而不是真正了解自己历史的人"(1096)。普利茅斯殖民地》所收集的文本内容丰富,对于研究普利茅斯、菲利普国王战争或马萨诸塞湾周边原住民社区的研究人员(包括高年级学生)而言,本书的潜在实用性无论怎样强调都不为过。对于任何学者而言,只要其研究工作涉及到这些主题,哪怕只是皮毛,这本书都将是不可或缺的。尽管如此,这本书也有一些怪异之处,可能会让一些读者感到困惑。例如,全书约三分之一的篇幅用于重印威廉-布拉德福德的《普里莫斯种植园》(Of Plimoth Plantation)全文。布拉德福德文本中以欧洲为中心的 "伟人 "观点可能与该书将普利茅斯殖民地作为跨国本土空间中发生的事件进行重新语境化的大目标背道而驰。其他读者可能会感到困惑的是,为什么书中有如此多的篇幅讨论菲利普国王的战争,而编者对这场战争的关注程度丝毫不亚于普利茅斯殖民地本身。当然,在关键的 1670 年代,战争史和殖民地史在很大程度上是交织在一起的,但前者的地理范围要比普利茅斯殖民地广阔得多,涉及的土著民族也比本书写得如此突出的讲马萨诸塞语的民族要多得多...

Plymouth Colony: Narratives of English Settlement and Native Resistance from the Mayflower to King Philip's War
edited by lisa brooks and kelly wisecup
Library of America, 2022
1266 pp.

This massive volume is strange, heterogeneous, and compelling. Published by the redoubtable Library of America to coincide with the four hundredth anniversary of the Mayflower's arrival in North America, Plymouth Colony was edited by Lisa Brooks and Kelly Wisecup, two leading scholars of the Native Northeast, who have assembled an anthology of primary sources that invites readers to rethink the volume's titular theme. The book's main editorial goal is announced in the subtitle of its introduction—"Plymouth in Patuxet: A Reorientation"—and it succeeds in this goal admirably, recontextualizing the history of the colony as a relatively "short-lived" episode transpiring within the homelands of the Wampanoag and other peoples living in the southeastern part of what the colonists called "New England" (xv, 1021).

While the book includes several well-known colonial texts (James Rosier's True Relation, Edward Winslow's Good News from New England, William Bradford's Of Plimoth Plantation, Thomas Morton's New English Canaan, and Mary Rowlandson's Sovereignty and Goodness of God among them), its most important scholarly contribution is to publish these alongside lesser-known writings that reflect Indigenous peoples' historical agency in Patuxet—the region surrounding Plymouth—from the early seventeenth century down to the present day. Some of these texts were cited in Brooks's recent study of King Philip's War, Our Beloved Kin (Yale UP, 2018), but are published here for the very first time in their entirety. Included are deeds and treaties, records of councils held by Native and settler leaders, creation [End Page 225] stories inspired by Wampanoag oral tradition, diplomatic correspondence written during King Philip's War, and later reflections by northeastern Native writers about the tumultuous events of the seventeenth century. Some Herring Pond Wampanoag writings concerning Plymouth are missing here, including those collected and translated in Ives Goddard and Kathleen Bragdon's Native Writings in Massachusett (Memoirs of the American Philosophical Society, vol. 185, 1988), which document some of the earliest experiences of Native American communities subject to Protestant missionization. It would be interesting to know why these were omitted, especially since they were written in a Native language; then again, Brooks and Wisecup make no claim to exhaustiveness, and all of their selections are worth reading. The volume ends with an essay by Wampanoag author and historian Linda Coombs diagnosing the "audacity" of colonial knowledge-production over the four hundred years since Plymouth's founding, "as if Native peoples are merely objects of study or discussion, rather than human beings with real knowledge of their own histories" (1096).

It would be difficult to overstate the richness of the texts gathered in Plymouth Colony, or the book's potential usefulness for researchers (including higher-level students) working on Plymouth, King Philip's War, or the Native communities around Massachusetts Bay. For any scholar whose work touches on these topics even tangentially, this volume will be indispensable. Having said that, the volume also has quirks that may befuddle some readers. For instance, roughly a third of the book is given over to reprinting William Bradford's Of Plimoth Plantation in its entirety. Yet this text receives relatively little notice in the introduction, and Bradford's text's Eurocentric, "great man" viewpoint arguably works against the volume's broader goal of recontextualizing Plymouth Colony as an event transpiring in a transnational Native space.
