This brilliant reinterpretation and reconstruction of the conflict known as King Philip's War is a book to be read slowly and carefully. It's a tremendous achievement, and one I look forward to returning to often. ( )
This well-written and engrossing title is an essential read for anyone interested in U.S. history. In this dense and ambitious account of the 17th-century conflicts known as King Philip’s War, Brooks (The Common Pot), associate professor of English and American studies at Amherst College, recovers histories of Native American adaptation and resistance to settler colonialism.... With so much material to analyze, Brooks sometimes struggles to untangle narrative threads, and her use of historical fiction to represent indigenous voices tends to confuse rather than enrich her scenes. Nonetheless, Brooks’s project provides a wealth of information for both scholars and lay readers interested in Native American history. Pertany a aquestes sèries
A compelling and original recovery of Native American resistance and adaptation to colonial America With rigorous original scholarship and creative narration, Lisa Brooks recovers a complex picture of war, captivity, and Native resistance during the "First Indian War" (later named King Philip's War) by relaying the stories of Weetamoo, a female Wampanoag leader, and James Printer, a Nipmuc scholar, whose stories converge in the captivity of Mary Rowlandson. Through both a narrow focus on Weetamoo, Printer, and their network of relations, and a far broader scope that includes vast Indigenous geographies, Brooks leads us to a new understanding of the history of colonial New England and of American origins. Brooks's pathbreaking scholarship is grounded not just in extensive archival research but also in the land and communities of Native New England, reading the actions of actors during the seventeenth century alongside an analysis of the landscape and interpretations informed by tribal history.
