Rivers of Power
Although the Creeks constitute a sovereign nation today, the concept of the nation meant little to their ancestors in the Native South. Rather, as Steven Peach contends in Rivers of Power, the Creeks of present-day Georgia and Alabama conceptualized rivers as the basis of power, leadership, and governance in early America. An original work of Indigenous ethnohistory, Peach’s book explores the implications of this river-oriented approach to power, in which rivers were a metaphor for the subregional provinces that defined the political textures of Creek country. The provinces nurtured leaders who worked to mitigate dangers across the Native South, including intertribal war, trade dependence,...

Vegas Peach
The summer of '76 continues. After suffering a non-life threatening, but nevertheless traumatic head injury, a period of Candy's memory is missing, the period that includes her relationship with Austin teen, Steven Paul. Steven Paul's devastated; the current love of his life only remembers him as a rebel and menace in the neighborhood. Reluctantly, he leaves Candy in Miami in care of Jane, the sister that Candy's never had, to rest and hopefully recover her memory while Steven Paul departs for Georgia for a planned visit with his dad.The calls to Jane become increasingly disturbing - Candy's acting strange. The final call is even more disturbing - Candy's purchased a pistol and disappeared. The only clue, Jane's learned that Candy's boarded a non-stop flight to Las Vegas - a place that's meant nothing but bad news for Candy. So much for Steven Paul's own rest and recuperation. But finding Candy only proves to be the tip of the deadly iceberg when the local mob crowns a new Vegas Peach.
Native Tongues
Exploring the morally entangled territory of language and race in 18th- and 19th-century America, Sean Harvey shows that whites’ theories of an “Indian mind” inexorably shaped by Indian languages played a crucial role in the subjugation of Native peoples and informed the U.S. government’s efforts to extinguish Native languages for years to come.
Aggression and Sufferings
"In 1823, Tennessee historian John Haywood encapsulated a foundational sentiment among the white citizenry of Tennessee when he wrote of a 'long continued course of aggression and sufferings' between whites and Native Americans. According to F. Evan Nooe, 'aggression' and 'sufferings' are broad categories that can be used to represent the framework of factors contributing to the coalescence of the white South. Traditionally, the concept of coalescence is an anthropological model used to examine the transformation of Indigenous communities in the eastern woodlands from chieftaincies to Native tribes, confederacies, and nations in response to colonialism. Applying this concept to white Souther...
Creek Internationalism in an Age of Revolution, 1763-1818
Creek Internationalism in an Age of Revolution, 1763-1818 examines how Creek communities and their leaders remained viable geopolitical actors in the trans-Appalachian West well after the American Revolution. The Creeks pursued aggressive and far-reaching diplomacy between 1763 and 1818 to assert their territorial and political sovereignty while thwarting American efforts to establish control over the region. The United States and the Creeks fought to secure recognition from the powers of Europe that would guarantee political and territorial sovereignty: the Creeks fought to maintain their connections to the Atlantic world and preserve their central role in the geopolitics of the trans-Appal...
Religion, Transformation and Gender
The fifth issue of the Interdisciplinary Journal for Religion and Transformation in Contemporary Society (J-RaT) centers on the topic of religion, transformation and sex/gender. The focal point will be on religious and cultural transformation processes and their repercussions on gender roles, constructs and representations on the one hand, and on sex and/or gender transformations which are embedded in the context of specific religious traditions on the other. Transformation is understood here as change, alteration and reformatting. The multifaceted connections between religion, transformation and sex/gender are concretized in an abundance of material and symbolic phenomena and are examined starting from different subject-specific and methodical approaches.
