The Cambridge History of the Age of Atlantic Revolutions
Volume I offers an introduction to the Enlightenment, which served as the shared background for virtually all revolutionary turmoil, and the American Revolution, which inaugurated the Age of Revolutions. Beginning with a thorough introduction, the volume covers international rivalry, the importance of slavery, and the reformist mind-set that prevailed on the eve of the revolutionary era. It addresses the traditional argument on whether the Enligh…

Empires and Indigenes
The early modern period (c. 1500–1800) of world history is characterized by the establishment and aggressive expansion of European empires, and warfare between imperial powers and indigenous peoples was a central component of the quest for global dominance. From the Portuguese in Africa to the Russians and Ottomans in Central Asia, empire builders could not avoid military interactions with native populations, and many discovered that imperial exp…
Using the Natives against the Natives
A key component of most modern counterinsurgency efforts (hereafter, COIN) is not merely to pacify or appease a local population, but to actively use the locals as part of the solution. 1 Large por
Fort, Tower, or House? Building a Landscape of Settlement in the Shala Valley of High Albania
This article presents the results of archaeological, (ethno-)historic, and ethnographic research in the Shala River valley of northern Albania. We argue that through time and in different periods of occupation - Middle Palaeolithic, Iron Age, Late Medieval, and Modern - the valley's residents have met similar challenges of extreme geography and a harsh environment differently, in particular by interacting in different ways and at different levels…

The Revolution and the Common Man's Land
Similar to other studies, including Leonard L. Richards's book on Shays's Rebellion, these two works seek to uncover the meaning and influence of the American Revolution on the political culture of common farmers, whose voices became most audible when raised in violent (or not so violent) protest.1 Each of these books also seeks to do more than that, yet the question of politicization and radicalization remains at the heart of both volumes. Land …
Fortify, Fight, or Flee
This article explores and compares how two southeastern Native American societies responded to the challenge of defending their home territories against European incursions in the eighteenth century. As the Tuscaroras and the Cherokees learned more about their European opponents, they progressively adapted their defensive techniques. The Tuscaroras relied on increasingly elaborate fortifications, at first successfully, but ultimately leading to a…

Crowds and Soldiers in Revolutionary North Carolina
Blueprints for Violence
Wayne E. Lee, assistant professor of history at the University of Louisville, approaches the study of social violence in North Carolina, 1758-1783, from a perspective different from that inaugurated by historians George Rudd and Eric Hobsbawm more than forty years ago.1 These English scholars explored collective violence in the early modern era from a basically academic Whig-Marxist framework, and through the work of Jesse Lemisch, their outlook …
Early American Ways of War
This review examines recent work on the ideology, culture, and socio-economic composition of early American militaries down to 1815. A fresh place has been given to the role of a Native American culture of war in influencing colonial warfare, although the exact nature of the synthesis of European and Indian traditions remains unclear. Social and economic investigations of the colonial militias and the Continental Army have revealed persistent pat…
