Mixed Blood Indians : Racial Construction in the Early South, Paperback / softback Book

Mixed Blood Indians : Racial Construction in the Early South Paperback / softback

Part of the Mercer University Lamar Memorial Lectures series

Paperback / softback

Description

Mixed Blood Indians looks at a fascinating array of birth- and kin-related issues as they were alternately misunderstood and astutely exploited by both Native and European cultures.

Theda Perdue discusses the assimilation of non-Indians into Native societies, their descendants' participation in tribal life, and the white cultural assumptions conveyed in the designation ""mixed blood."" In addition to unions between European men and Native women, Perdue also considers the special cases arising from the presence of white women and African men and women in Indian society.
