Reviews

"The work is authoritative, theoretically provocative, and accessibly written, and should stand as a definitive source on the Lumbee for some time, as well as a useful contribution to the understanding of the South."--Choice "A welcome and valiant effort to elaborate on a quasi-comprehensive basis the history and contemporary status of this indigenous group... It ranks high on the small list of works dealing with an Eastern tribe minus a treaty relationship with the federal government."--Ethnohistory
