Excerpt from Colonization: A Study of the Founding of New Societies
And it may be worth while, perhaps, to go a little farther and indicate the place in a series of studies of man and human society which colonization as here treated is designed to occupy. It pre supposes some such study as geography in its broader sense, including physical geography, the geography of man (anthropo geography), and the geography of trade; or, put more generally, Since man is the center of interest, a study of environmental influences on man and human groups, and of the various topics of general anthropology. A geography of trade or of man comes inevitably to touch upon the trading settlement, which is in turn the commonest forerunner of the colony; and the science of society then reaches out to these frontier societies as in many respects peculiarly significant. The subject of colonization opens out, therefore, as a sort of Special topic of the science of society (sociology), following, in so far as the exigencies of a curriculum will allow, upon the more general study of man and human groups. It is possible that the concreteness of these statements may serve to define the scope and method of attack of the present volume, as the more general considerations which precede may not.
Finally, although some attempt has been made to define a colony, there has been no systematic effort put forth to exclude from treatment everything that does not square with that definition, loose though it may be; this book deals with colonies and colonial empires in the common acceptance of these terms.
In the preparation of the following essays I have received aid from many colleagues and friends the faithfulness of their wounds accounts for a large part of any value which these labors may have. The influence of Professor Sumner is ever present with his former disciples Wherever their subsequent interests may lie and I am conscious in particular that my first interest in colonies as frontier societies was awakened by his illuminating suggestions.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the founding of new societies with the concept of colonization, offering a comparative study of the different types and their impact on the world stage. It begins by presenting a working definition of "colony" and then elaborates on it with key examples to make the term concrete and easy to grasp. The book proceeds by classifying colonies into two primary types: plantation colonies, which are typically located in tropical regions and rely on large-scale agriculture, and farm colonies, which are found in temperate zones and are characterized by small-scale farming. The author delves into the historical, economic, and social implications of each type, explaining how these factors shape the development of distinct societal structures. The book highlights the significant differences between these two types of colonies, emphasizing the varying degrees of economic dependence, political stability, and social stratification that emerge from their unique circumstances. Ultimately, this book provides valuable insights into the complex dynamics of colonization, examining the ways in which these new societies have influenced the course of history and continue to impact global affairs today.
