520			_a "An acclaimed book and widely acknowledged classic, The Middle Groun d steps outside the simple stories of Indian-white relations - stories of conquest and assimilation and stories of cultural persistence. It is , instead, about a search for accommodation and common meaning. It tell s how Europeans and Indians met, regarding each other as alien, as othe r, as virtually nonhuman, and how between 1650 and 1815 they constructe d a common, mutually comprehensible world in the region around the Grea t Lakes that the French called pays d'en haut. Here the older worlds of the Algonquians and of various Europeans overlapped, and their mixture created new systems of meaning and of exchange. Finally, the book tell s of the breakdown of accommodation and common meanings and the re-crea tion of the Indians as alien and exotic. First published in 1991, the 2 0th anniversary edition includes a new preface by the author examining the impact and legacy of this study"-- _c Provided by publisher.
