Alaska: An American Colony: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Alaska: An American Colony" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Alaska often looms large as a remote, wild place with endless resources and endlessly independent, resourceful people. Yet it has always been part of larger stories: the movement of Indigenous peoples from Asia into the Americas and their contact with and accommodation to Western culture; the spread of European political economy to the New World; the expansion of American capitalism and culture; and the impacts of climate change. In this updated classic, distinguished historian Stephen Haycox surveys the states cultural, political, economic, and environmental past, examining its contemporary landscape and setting the region in a broader, global context. Tracing Alaskas transformation from the early postcontact period through the modern era, Haycox explores the ever-evolving relationship between Native Alaskans and the settlers and institutions that have dominated the area, highlighting Native agency, advocacy, and resilience. Throughout, he emphasizes the regions systemic dependence on both federal support and outside corporate investment in natural resources-furs, gold, copper, salmon, oil-and offers a less romantic, more complex history that acknowledges the broader national and international contexts of Alaskas past.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Many people contributed in many ways to this new history of Alaska. It is not possible to thank them all individually. I am particularly grateful to my many students through the years; they have helped me to explore, understand, and articulate the themes manifest here. Also, my thanks to the small community of Alaska historians, some of whom generously critiqued my work, and my many friends and colleagues at the University of Alaska Anchorage and in the Alaska Historical Society. I am grateful to Morgan Sherwood and Terrence Cole, who read early versions of the manuscript, and to John Whitehead, Jim Ducker, and Mike Dunning. Bill Robbins of Corvallis, Oregon, has been a special colleague and friend; Patricia Limerick first suggested that I write this book in 1990. I thank them both for their encouragement. Finally, to my wife, Dagmar, without whose counsel and expectation this book would have been much less, my love and gratitude.
