I found this book invaluable in my understanding of Cherokee culture and can use the knowledge that I've gain to put my genealogy research of this family line in perspective. I was also tickled to find a distant grandfather mentioned and will use the footnotes provided to dig deeper into his life and the life of his wives and children. ( ) This is a fair treatment of Cherokee society at the point of contact with whites. Perdue is fair and even handed. She certainly does not blame whites for all the Cherokee's problems. Focuses mainly on women, but male roles show through. This would probably only be interesting to someone interested in Native American or southeast US history. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Theda Perdue examines the roles and responsibilities of Cherokee women during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, a time of intense cultural change. While building on the research of earlier historians, she develops a uniquely complex view of the effects of contact on Native gender relations, arguing that Cherokee conceptions of gender persisted long after contact. Maintaining traditional gender roles actually allowed Cherokee women and men to adapt to new circumstances and adopt new industries and practices. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
