New Voyages to Carolina

<i>New Voyages to Carolina</i> offers a bold new approach for understanding and telling North Carolina’s history. Recognizing the need for such a fresh approach and reflecting a generation of recent scholarship eighteen distinguished authors have sculpted a broad inclusive narrative of the state’s evolution over more than four centuries. The volume provides new lenses and provocative possibilities for reimagining the state’s past. Transcending traditional markers of wars and elections the contributors map out a new chronology encompassing geological realities; the unappreciated presence of Indians blacks and women; religious and cultural influences; and abiding preferences for industrial development within the limits of “progressive” politics. While challenging traditional story lines the authors frame a candid tale of the state’s development.<br/><br/>Contributors:<br/>Dorothea V. Ames East Carolina University<br/>Karl E.
