![]() ![]() An essay on the experiences of those who disappeared in the early colonial southwest highlights the magnitude of destruction on these emergent borderlands and features a fresh perspective on Cabeza de Vaca. The essays include an exploration of the diplomacy and motives that led colonial and Native leaders in the Ohio Valley-including those from the Shawnee and Cherokee-to cooperate and form coalitions a contextualized look at the relationship between African Americans and Seminole Indians on the Florida borderlands and an assessment of the role that animal husbandry played in the economies of southeastern Indians. It extends the concept to regions not typically seen as borderlands and demonstrates how the term has been used in recent years to describe unstable spaces where people, cultures, and viewpoints collide. Broadening the idea of "borderlands" beyond its traditional geographic meaning, this volume features new ways of characterizing the political, cultural, religious, and racial fluidity of early America. ![]()
