“W. Smith’s perceptions of Indian and White Culture in the 1700s”
[ send me this paper ]
A twenty page paper which looks at an excerpt from Smith’s ‘Historical Account of the Expedition against the Ohio Indians’ and analyses his commentary with reference to the cultural and religious practices of the Native population in relation to that of the white settlers, his assumption of superior civilisation on the part of the whites and the way in which similar attitudes can also be seen in other multi-cultural situations such as the relationship between the English and the Irish and the constraints of the slave-owning plantation society. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
