Abstract

The concluding chapter critically evaluates a received wisdom in the literature that pre-European contact polities collapsed from the impacts of colonialism. An argument is made for a more nuanced perspective on major cultural transformations and a closer interrogation of the implications of terms like collapse. As an alternative, this chapter forwards the thesis that, rather than a single collapse, Native American landscapes underwent a series of major alterations through the colonial era. These were linked to demographic decline and conflict; the emergence of the consumer revolution; the manipulation of debt by colonial and American governments; and the development of capitalism. As a concluding point, the author argues that Native American cultures successfully navigated these changes even as they were transformed by them.

《现代启示录》?
最后一章批判性地评价了文献中公认的观点,即欧洲前的接触政策因殖民主义的影响而崩溃。有人提出了一个更细致入微的观点来看待重大的文化转型,并对崩溃等术语的含义进行了更深入的探讨。作为另一种选择,本章提出的论点是,美洲原住民的景观在殖民时代经历了一系列重大变化,而不是单一的崩溃。这些问题与人口减少和冲突有关;消费者革命的出现;殖民地和美国政府对债务的操纵;以及资本主义的发展。作为结束语,作者认为,美洲原住民文化成功地驾驭了这些变化,即使它们被这些变化所改变。
