About

Brett Rushforth teaches courses on the history of early America, American Indians, and comparative race and slavery at the College of William & Mary. His research focuses on cultural, diplomatic, and commercial relationships between Europeans and the Native peoples of the Atlantic world. His first book, co-edited with his colleague Paul Mapp, is _Colonial North America and the Atlantic World: A History in Documents_ (Pearson/Prentice-Hall, 2008). His second book, _Bonds of Alliance: Indigenous and Atlantic Slaveries in New France_, explores the enslavement of American Indians by French colonists and their Native allies in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It will be published by the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture in 2012. He is now at work, with Christopher Hodson, on a general history of the early modern French Atlantic. Under contract with Basic Books, its working title is _Discovering Empire: France and the Atlantic World from the Age of Columbus to the Rise of Napoleon_.
