Recenzje

'Robin Beck's study traces the origin of the Catawba Indians from precontact Appalachian Mississippian chiefdoms through their emergence as a nation in the eighteenth-century Southeast … a compelling argument that combines the best aspects of anthropological and historical methodology grounded in a thorough discussion of its theoretical implications … This book is sure to open new avenues of inquiry not only for North American case studies but also for similar sociopolitical geneses elsewhere.' George Edward Milne, The Journal of American History
