This history is well known. Less well known is that this decisive victory had its roots almost a hundred years earlier when settler colonial systems of power first took root on the peripheries of the Maritime Peninsula (the places known today as Quebec, Maritime Canada, and New England). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on the concept of spaces of power, historian Thomas Peace demonstrates that despite imperial changes of power and settler colonial incursions on their Lands, local Mi'kmaw, Wabanaki, Peskotomuhkati, Wolastoqiyik, and Wendat nations continued to experience the contested Peninsula as a cohesive whole, rather than one defined by subsequent colonial borders. This engaging history shows how overlapping concepts of space and power--shaped deeply by Indigenous agency and diplomacy--defined relationships in the eighteenth-century Maritime Peninsula and how, following the Seven Years' War, this history was brushed aside as settlers flooded into the Peninsula, laying the groundwork from which Canada and the United States would develop.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThomas Peace\u003c\/b\u003e is an associate professor of history and codirector of the Community History Centre at Huron University College.
