"In The Shock of Colonialism in New England, archaeologist Meghan C. L. Howey uses excavations in the magnificent seventeenth-century frontier colony of the Great Bay Estuary/P8bagok in today's New Hampshire to trace the direct line of European global colonialism to the present crises. Howey shows how this site, outside of the hub of the Puritan Massachusetts Bay Colony in Boston, holds overlooked stories of what it meant to live through the shock of colonialism. These stories include an unexpected diversity and dynamism among English colonists, nuanced, multifaceted encounters with Indigenous peoples whose ancestors had thrived here for millennia, and lasting degrading environmental legacies of labor-intensive industries. Early Euro-American maps, stunning archaeological finds, such as a broken pickaxe embedded in a hearth, and a historical marker for
Oyster River "Massacre" of 1694 illustrate how inherited narratives and the ways that we commemorate early colonialism perpetuate limited views of a shared past. In these times of reckoning with the truth behind our national myths, this powerful corrective culminates in the ultimate reality of English colonialism in the dispossession of Indigenous lands and its wake: the rise of intergenerational colonial wealth made possible by land commodified into property, the increased labor required to work additional land, and the eventual presence of indentured Scots and enslaved Africans brought to provide that labor. Ultimately, Howey questions what we need to bring in from the edges of our past to help us reach a more just and sustainable future, with knowledge that these fragments of our shared colonial past likely will be washed away by rising sea levels"--
