Journal Article
TRANSLATING VALUES: MERCANTILISM AND THE MANY \BIOGRAPHIES\ OF POCAHONTAS
2009
Overview
Seventeenth century mercantilist economics is based on \"translating\": foreign wealth changes meaning or value in becoming domestic property. The Pocahontas story manipulates biographical evidence to mercantilist ends: she is \"translated\" by love and marriage into a British subject, \"domesticating\" her Indian lands into British/American property. Retelling this story keeps American mercantilism alive, reaffirming the mythic belief that the US is the inevitable end-product of all translation.
