Considered a classic study of southeastern Indians, "Powhatan's
Mantle" demonstrates how ethnohistory, demography, archaeology,
anthropology, and cartography can be brought together in fresh and
meaningful ways to illuminate life in the early South. In a series
of provocative original essays, a dozen leading scholars show how
diverse Native Americans interacted with newcomers from Europe and
Africa during the three hundred years of dramatic change beginning
in the early sixteenth century.
For this new and expanded edition, the original contributors have
revisited their subjects to offer further insights based on years
of additional scholarship. The book includes four new essays, on
calumet ceremonialism, social diversity in French Louisiana, the
gendered nature of Cherokee agriculture, and the ideology of race
among Creek Indians. The result is a volume filled with detailed
information and challenging, up-to-date reappraisals reflecting the
latest interdisciplinary research, ranging from Indian mounds and
map symbolism to diplomatic practices and social structure, written
to interest fellow scholars and informed general readers.
