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 Brooks's brilliant The Common Pot (2008) but introduces a much broader cast of characters. Central to the story are the Pocasset leader Weetamoo and the Nipmuc scholar Wawaus, known to the English as James Printer. On the English side, Brooks eschews a top-down look at the usual suspects and instead focuses on the traders, squatters, and land speculators who created new realities on Indian ground. These include Mary Rowlandson, who spent time in Weetamoo's household and owed her freedom—and the typesetting of her captivity narrative—to Printer's interventions
