Forced migration and human trafficking created a diaspora of cultures, languages, and people. Gregory D. Smithers and Brooke N. Newman have gathered the work of leading scholars, including Bill Anthes, Duane Champagne, Daniel Cobb, Donald Fixico, and Joy Porter, among others, in examining an expansive range of Native peoples and the extent of their influences through reaggregation. These diverse and wide-ranging essays uncover indigenous understandings of self-identification, community, and culture through the speeches, cultural products, intimate relations, and political and legal practices of Native peoples.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eNative Diasporas\u003c\/i\u003e explores how indigenous peoples forged a sense of identity and community amid the changes wrought by European colonialism in the Caribbean, the Pacific Islands, and the mainland Americas \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The essays in\u003ci\u003e Native Diasporas\u003c\/i\u003e offer fascinating case studies that simultaneously value local nuance and transnational\/global contexualization across more than three centuries of history.
