Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review“Galloway’s painstaking multidisciplinary research . . . provides case studies that exemplify how to extract a good deal of information out of what often appears to be simple lists of place names or of names and associated roles. . . . What archaeologists, anthropologists, historians, and museum directors do has consequences for indigenous groups and for the society at large. . . . These last two chapters should be required reading for all involved in narrating the history of colonial encounters.”—
Journal of Anthropological Research“This book is an excellent text for use in graduate classes on methodology in a number of disciplines, including ethnohistory, ethnoarchaeology, and Native American studies. . . . The book is ‘a kind of ethno-ethnohistory’ that reinforces the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the Other. Scholars interested in eighteenth-century Choctaw culture will want this book as part of their libraries.”—
