Reviews
Delage's arguments are diverse, elegantly constructed, and based on a wide range of respectable interpretative concepts ... The originality of his work lies in the diversity of material that he synthesizes and the structure that he gives to his subject matter. - Bruce G. Trigger, Culture Bitter Feast is a welcome and important contribution to 17th-century studies. All serious students of Canadian history should regard it as essential. - J.R. Miller, Canadian Book Review Annual It is engrossing, enlightening and even lively reading. It is easy to see why the book was a prize winner when it first appeared in 1985. It will be a long time before a more comprehensive and readable work on the fur trade appears. - Virginia P. Miller, Anthropologica

Synopsis
This innovative interdisciplinary study offers a comprehensive analysis of the French, Dutch and English colonization of northeastern North America during the early and middle decades of the seventeenth century. It is the first book to pay serious attention to the European economic and political factors which promoted colonization, and it argues that the prime determinant was the uneven development of agricultural systems in western Europe., 'A strange and gripping tragedy' is how Brian Moore has described the seventeenth-century confrontation of Europeans and Amerindians in his compelling novel, Black Robe. In Bitter Feast , sociologist an dhistorian Denys Delage takes a fresh look at the struggle underlying the meeting of two civilizations on the North American continent. Both civilizations had strongly developed economic, religious, and cultural traditions. Each had something to give and something to learns, and yet one was to emerge as a powerful new force, while the other was to be shaken to its foundations. 'The race to accumulate capital drove European shipes to teh shores of northeastern North America, ' writes Delage, 'brining into contact two civilizations--one on the brink of Industrial Revolution, the other still in the Stone Age.' When the first Europeans arrived, the continent's population was as great as that of Europe. Until this time, Amerindians had rarely lacked food, and had traded widely on foot and by water for the commodities they desired. Caught in the web of an unequal trading relationship where furs were exchanged for fish hooks and faith, Amerindian civilization in northeastern North America faced a challenge that set the pattern for future generations. Finally available in English, this award-winning book presents a provocative world-system analysis of European coilonization in North America as well as a sobering account of the impact that this colonization had on native peoples. It will be of interest tooanyone looking for new ways of understanding the continent's early history--the legacy of which still has implications today., The first book to pay serious attention to the European economic and political factors which promoted colonization, this book argues that the prime determinant was the uneven development of agricultural systems in western Europe.
