Pacifist Prophet
In this full-length biography—a treatment that Indigenous people in early America rarely receive—Richard Pointer tells the story of Papunhank (ca. 1705–1775), a Munsee prophet who became a Moravian convert and leader of an Indigenous Christian community. Papunhank’s pacifism, Pointer demonstrates, illuminates Indigenous engagements with Christianity and their struggles for independence and autonomy. On the other hand, Pointer’s argument that Papu…

Rethinking America
Experiencing Empire
This edited collection seeks to redefine the era of the American Revolution. The bookends—an introduction by Patrick Griffin and a conclusion by T. H.

The essays between them focus on the granular details of power relations in the ways that people interacted with empires amid rapid change. Each of these two components are excellent in them…

William W. Winn explains that his goal is to “present a rounded narrative” with “sufficient details to satisfy the scholarly reader while entertaining those who simply wish for an interesting narrative full of colorful frontier characters” (p. xiii). Winn l…
Bloody Minds and Peoples Undone
Susquehannock Indians and Virginia colonists had a long history of friendship and alliance, but they unexpectedly went to war in 1675 over a misunderstanding about stolen pigs. That war, which has seldom attracted attention from historians except as the spark for the colonial insurrection known as Bacon's Rebellion, remains poorly understood. The Susquehannock-Virginia War lasted longer than the short-lived rebellion it spawned and produced more …
Captives
This deceptively slim volume aims to reconceptualize scholarly approaches to slavery and captivity across the globe. It succeeds admirably, making a convincing case that captives influence their host societies in ways that leave only subtle traces in the historical and archaeological record, but which were nonetheless quite powerful.Cameron's method is broadly comparative, drawing from secondary sources in archaeology, anthropology, and history. …
