Title: Same old same old
Review: Yeah, another book of the same-old-same old. Americans, particularly white people, just love to find ways to romanticize what amounts to an imperialist project on the part of the Puritans. And I'd like to remind a previous reviewer that A: there was another war, the Pequot War, which saw the massacre of old folks and women and children at Mystic in 1637. B: the "God-fearing" Puritans, following the King Philip's War, proudly displayed Phillip's (Metacom) head on a stave at the entrance to Plymouth. Anne Hutchison, Thomas Morton, and Roger Williams could all attest to the complete intolerance of these sexually repressed people, who, as Bradford's history shows, were worried about fending off "buggery" because of their hang-ups.
Is the review positive or negative?
