Firsting and lasting : writing Indians out of existence in New England

Book

Firsting and lasting : writing Indians out of existence in New England / Jean M. O'Brien.

Summary:

"Driven by a creative reading of hundreds of local histories, Jean M. O'Brien's Firsting and Lasting reinvigorates the old question of the 'vanishing Indian' in surprising ways, taking readers into the contradictions surrounding race and modernity, and offering an ur-history of the politics of tribal termination, dual citizenship, and cultural politics. It is a tour de force from one of our very best ethnohistorians."--Jacket.
