New Publications	2006	3	.pdf	application/pdf	1435	73	57	Sensory Worlds in Early America, by Peter Charles Hoffer (334 pages, paperback ed., December 2005), explores the impressions that sights, sounds, and smells have on differ- ent cultures and how varying interpretations of sensory experience can result in political conflict and social or religious transforma- tion. Hoffer provides five examples: the fi rst encounters of the English and the Indians in North America, the perceived demons and spectral evidence of the Salem witch trials, the role of color and voice in defi ning a sense of otherness to African slaves, the richly evocative visible and auditory sacramentalism of the first Great Awakening in the 1730s, and the genuineness and candor of repub- lican sensory etiquette during the American Revolution.	cache/crln-7644.pdf	txt/crln-7644.txt
