Reviews

“There is much to admire about this book, including the quality of the research--the excellent use of archaeology, both published studies and unpublished site reports, is especially commendable--and the persuasiveness of its arguments. Taylor has made several signal contributions to long-standing historiographical debates.” - Matthew Kruer, University of Chicago, author of Time of Anarchy: Indigenous Power and the Crisis of Colonialism in Early America“An exceptionally rich and well-researched book. Taylor weaves English and Indigenous perspectives together to make a unique intervention.” - Paul P. Musselwhite, Dartmouth College, author of Urban Dreams, Rural Commonwealth: The Rise of Plantation Society in the Chesapeake
