Spanning such subjects as Seminole–African American kinship systems, Cherokee notions of guilt and innocence in evolving tribal jurisprudence, Indian captives and American empire, and second-wave feminist activism among Cherokee women in the 1970s, \u003ci\u003eThe Native South\u003c\/i\u003e offers a dynamic examination of ethnohistorical methodology and evolving research subjects in southern Native American history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Theda Perdue and Michael Green, pioneers in the modern historiography of the Native South who developed it into a major field of scholarly inquiry today, speak in interviews with the editors about how that field evolved in the late twentieth century after the foundational work of James Mooney, John Swanton, Angie Debo, and C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[\u003ci\u003eThe Native South\u003c\/i\u003e] reveals how the history of the Native South and Native southerners is a dynamic form of historical inquiry, a testimony to the skill of the contributors and an enduring testimony to the pathbreaking scholarship of Michael Green and Theda Perdue.\"—G.

In his chapter about legacy and the ghosts of the South, James Taylor Carson studies the airport in Franklin, North Carolina. Carson uses insightful metaphors and quotes from figures in Native American studies and history to showcase how the Eastern Band of Cherokees fought to preserve the burial grounds of their ancestors. This is an apt conclusion to a book whose dedication to legacy and ethnohistory as methods of putting Indigenous peoples at the center of their own stories makes it a necessary resource in contemporary Native American studies.\"—Jay N.
