Sinopse

Siberian Frontiers explores Russia's expansion into Siberia, a pivotal period in world history. This territorial acquisition, driven by the lucrative fur trade and the ambition for resources, had profound consequences for indigenous populations and reshaped global commerce. The book highlights how this contiguous land grab differed from overseas colonialism, significantly influencing Russia's identity and its relationship with Asia. The Russian state implemented administrative and legal frameworks, affecting land ownership, taxation, and religious conversion, further altering the region's socio-political landscape. The book presents a comprehensive account of Russia's eastward march from the late 16th through the 19th centuries.

 
Initially, the book sets the stage by examining the diverse indigenous cultures, economies, and political systems of pre-colonial Siberia. It then analyzes the early stages of Russian penetration, focusing on the role of Cossack explorers, fur traders, and state officials in establishing control over key territories. The book connects history with anthropology, economics, and environmental studies, emphasizing the agency of indigenous actors who resisted and adapted to Russian expansion.

    Newport Gardner's Anthem explores the remarkable life of Occramer Marycoo, an enslaved African who went on to become one of early America's most important Black leaders. In the mid-eighteenth century, Marycoo was taken from West Africa to Newport, Rhode Island, where he was forced into racial bondage and given a name that symbolized the power that his new city and new enslaver held over him: Newport Gardner. In this powerful book, Edward E. Andrews pieces together newspaper articles, church records, letters, and Gardner's own writings to tell the story of his life. 
    After acquiring his freedom via a winning lottery ticket in 1791, Gardner became a kind of Founding Father for Newport's free Black community. He became a popular educator to young Black Newporters, and emerged as a key religious figure, serving as a long-standing pillar of Newport's First Congregational Church and later founding an independent Black church in the 1820s. His final act was leading a group of about three dozen Black New Englanders to Liberia, in hopes that a new start in Africa would be better than the discrimination they faced in America. 
    A richly textured account, Newport Gardner's Anthem tells the story of a forgotten Black leader while exploring the new, but tragically limited, opportunities for formerly enslaved people in the post-Revolutionary world.
