The New Map of Empire: How Britain Imagined America 1st, by S. Max Edelson First Edition
Condition: VeryGood.
"In "The New Map of Empire: How Britain Imagined America Before Independence," S. Max Edelson explores the critical period following the Treaty of Paris in 1763 when Britain gained vast territories in North America and the Caribbean. This work delves into Britain's efforts to effectively govern these regions through extensive mapping, which aimed to provide a thorough understanding of the land's agricultural, navigational, and commercial potential. Edelson argues that these meticulously crafted maps not only served imperial ambitions but also diminished the role of colonists as active participants in their own history."
