Abstract

Immense fresque narrative, ce chef-d'oeuvre de la littérature historique raconte comment, près de deux siècles durant, les Blancs et les Indiens de la région des Grands Lacs ont tâché de construire ensemble, malgré des logiques conflictuelles et divergentes, un monde mutuellement compréhensible. De cette rencontre est né le " Middle Ground ", un " terrain d'entente ", une société singulière fondée sur des pratiques, des codes, des usages et des moeurs partagés, sans cesse malmenés et remis en question mais toujours renaissants. Jusqu'au rejet définitif de la recherche de cet accommodement au début du XIXe siècle. Autrement dit, jusqu'à la ruine du monde commun, le refoulement des Indiens dans une altérité immuable, et l'oubli même de l'existence du Middle Ground. Comme un continent englouti surgissant des flots, Richard White révèle les couleurs et la vie de cet univers prétendument " périphérique ", très nettement ignoré par l'historiographie traditionnelle. Ce faisant, il oblige à repenser les mécanismes coloniaux dans leur ensemble, aussi bien que les moments fondateurs de la naissance des États-Unis d'Amérique. Avec l'élaboration de sa fertile métaphore du Middle Ground, White pose ici une pierre angulaire epistémologique comparable à la " Méditerranée " de Fernand Braudel.

Abstract

When Spanish explorers and missionaries came onto Southern California's shores in 1769, they encountered the large towns and villages of the Chumash, a people who at that time were among the most advanced hunter-gatherer societies in the world. The Spanish were entertained and fed at lavish feasts hosted by chiefs who ruled over the settlements and who participated in extensive social and economic networks. In this first modern synthesis of data from the Chumash heartland, Lynn H. Gamble weaves together multiple sources of evidence to re-create the rich tapestry of Chumash society. Drawing from archaeology, historical documents, ethnography, and ecology, she describes daily life in the large mainland towns, focusing on Chumash culture, household organization, politics, economy, warfare, and more.
