"The Rising of the Indians"; or, The Native American Revolution of (16)'76
In 1676, some imperial observers saw a hemispheric "Rising of the Indians" in the Caribbean and North America that threatened the colonial project, a fear largely forgotten today. Applying the heuristic of a widespread Native American revolution of 1676 to King Philip's War, Bacon's Rebellion, the Kalinago wars, and the Pueblo Revolt challenges the ways that historians have framed these events—often as discrete occurrences, often as failures to s…
Monumental Mobility
In 2017, after a long reclamation battle, the Wampanoag ceremonially reinterred artifacts and remains associated with the seventeenth-century leader 8sâmeeqan (Ousamequin). Massasoit, the name widely used in histories and Thanksgiving pageants, was a title signifying 8sâmeeqan’s leadership role. A century earlier, a Euro-American fraternal order called the Improved Order of Red Men (IORM) commissioned a sculpture to commemorate the tricentennial …
Sarah Chauqum, Eighteenth-Century Rhode Island and Connecticut (US)
In 1732, a twenty-three-year-old enslaved woman named Sarah Chauqum ran away from New London, Connecticut and headed for South Kingstown, Rhode Island. In two successful pathbreaking legal actions, Sarah and her lawyers not only exposed the seamy regional system of human trafficking that turned free people of color into slaves in New England, but also laid the groundwork for freedom suits that would follow. In the first, Sarah established her leg…
Memory Lands
King Philip's War (1675–1676) often serves as historical shorthand for the victory of settler colonialism in New England and in early America more generally. In two immersive and different works, Lisa Brooks and Christine M. DeLucia challenge this interpretation and transform our understandings of the war and of native communities’ continuing role in making America. Our Beloved Kin covers some of the same ground, literally and figuratively, as Br…
The Saltwater Frontier
Reviewing a Bancroft Prize–winning book presents a challenge: what else is there to say about a work recognized as one of the year’s best in American history? Moreover, Saltwater Frontier is not a typical piece of academic scholarship. It combines synthesis with careful analysis of published, translated, and unpublished Dutch and English works and of archaeological and environmental surveys. Lipman strives for a different kind of history writing …
Brethren by Nature
Newell finds that second- and third-generation Indian slaves fought their enslavement and claimed citizenship in cases that had implications for all enslaved peoples in eighteenth-century America
Brethren by Nature
This book reveals a little-known aspect of American history: English colonists in New England enslaved thousands of Indians. Massachusetts became the first English colony to legalize slavery in 1641, and the colonists' desire for slaves shaped the major New England Indian wars. When the wartime conquest of Indians ceased, New Englanders turned to the courts to get control of their labor, or imported Indians from Florida and the Carolinas, or simp…

The New England Village
Subterranean Electronic Blues; or, How a Former Technophobe Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Multimedia
One of the most salient features of the last decade has been the explosion of information technology. What does the proliferation of new media signify for academic historians? On the one hand, it offers tremendous possibilities for research and the sharing of data. On the other, as instructors and would-be public intellectuals, we find its impact on our culture alarming. I and my colleagues grumble about the visual orientation of our students and…

Merchants and Miners
A partir de la comparación de las actitudes económicas en el siglo XVII de Potosí y Boston se deduce la necesidad de revaluar nuestros conceptos sobre la cultura y el desarrollo de la América hispana. Los comerciantes de Nueva Inglaterra y los mineros peruanos desarrollaron similares estrategias como respuesta a las condiciones del Nuevo Mundo y organizaron economías diversas e integradas. Asimismo, hay que destacar la necesidad de volver a exami…
