“In this truly fascinating volume, some of the best scholars in their fields study the entangled histories of ancient Roman and early American imperial powers’ encounters with local communities and people. By demonstrating how ‘the study of Rome helps us to understand the American experience’ and vice versa, the exploratory and experimental essays in Empires and Indigenous Peoples provide new foundations and standards for connecting the experiences and expertise of different fields and historical contexts.”—Helmut Reimitz, author of History, Frankish Identity, and the Framing of Western Ethnicity, 550–850 “Specialists in American history, Roman history, and Indigenous studies will find the essays in this collection revelatory. The comparative work that these authors undertake, on a transhistorical topic of immense contemporary importance, is challenging and inspiring in equal measure.”—Joshua Piker, author of The Four Deaths of Acorn Whistler: Telling Stories in Colonial America
