No Wood, No Kingdom: Political Ecology in the English Atlantic
Keith Pluymers's book digs deeply into British rhetoric and practices regarding wood and forests, circa 1580–1660, arguing that worries about scarcity were driven by political concerns. He calls the resulting ideas and arguments political ecology, with debates over whether forests should be used primarily for the British navy, royal hunting, public commons, or commercial purposes such as iron making. These domestic debates became embedded in Brit…

The Trials of Thomas Morton: An Anglican Lawyer, His Puritan Foes, and the Battle for a New England
As we commemorate the five hundredth anniversary of Plymouth, the seed of English domination and Native devastation, Peter C. Mancall's lovely book reminds us of alternatives. His short work reveals Thomas Morton's struggles with Puritan leaders, his vision in New English Canaan (1637), and his work with Ferdinando Gorges and the Council for New England in seeking to forge a very different colony. The Trials of Thomas Morton begins with John Adam…
Declared Defective: Native Americans, Eugenics, and the Myth of Nam Hollow
Declared Defective is an excellent case study that, by delving deeply into the history of the Van Guilder family, reveals how early twentieth-century American eugenicists created a slanderous mythology about the “degeneracy” of “racially mixed” people, shaped by racialist and class assumptions. The eugenicists had a particular fascination for families like the Van Guilders that had Native American kinship connections and lived in more isolated ru…
Indigenous People and the New England Town Meeting: Stockbridge, Massachusetts, 1730-1775
In the 1730s, Mahicans along the Housatonic River settled the mission town of Stockbridge, Massachusetts. They participated in town meetings and elected “traditional” leaders to typical New England offices. Even after a growing population of English settlers began dominating town offices, the Indians remained a strong presence in meetings, which was conducted in the Mahican as well as English language, and all voting done viva voce. In 1763, a ma…
Empire of the People: Settler Colonialism and the Foundations of Modern Democratic Thought
In Empire of the People Adam Dahl, a professor of political theory, plumbs a select body of writings through 1860 to argue that in the United States, “settler-colonial discourses constructed the ‘sovereign people’ as an imperial constituency who demanded territorial expansion” and the erasure of Native Americans “as a necessary correlate of democratic equality and self-rule” (p. 9). Unfortunately, while Dahl often wields the concept of settler co…

Sacred Violence in Early America
Sacred Violence examines the “deep cultural history of the theology of violence” through four concepts—blood sacrifice, holy war, malediction (blasphemy and heresy), and iconoclasm—from medieval Europe to the Anglo-American colonies (p. 3). Each chapter discusses the evolution of the concept in Christendom through the Reformation; developments in England, particularly during its civil war; and, finally, the transmission of the paradigm to the col…
Thundersticks: Firearms and the Violent Transformation of Native America
Silverman’s deeply researched, vibrant work explores how, from the beginning of European exploration to the close of the “frontier,” Native peoples in North America embraced firearms and sought to control their trade. For readers of this journal, the most significant aspects of Thundersticks are the connections that it highlights between gun technologies and developments in Native politics and cultures, particularly in diplomacy and conflict amon…
