| New Release From Tiamat Publications: Constructing The Panopticon: Perceptions of Wilderness, Methods of Domination and the Colonization of Native America |
|||||||||||||
| This is the story of the colonial occupation of North America - the land mass originally known as Turtle Island. Framed as a historical study, this book investigates the intersection between establishment and counter-cultural perceptions of nature and power and discusses their relationship to the spread of Anglo civilization across North America. The historical context of this study will be the colonization of Native America from the first landing of the European invaders on the North Atlantic Coast through to the early 20th century. This study overlaps into a number of established schools of historical study including Environmental History, New Western and Post Western History, and Native American Studies. Overall, this study focuses on perceptions and ideologies – the history of ideas. Philosophically and theoretically speaking, this study is guided by an epistemological anarchism that will aid in the creation of an anti-colonial and anti-hierarchical history of perceptions of nature and ideologies of control as they played out during the colonization of North America.
