Minnesota: A History, Second Edition Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a concise but complete history of the state from the French fur trappers to recent times. (Though it is starting to get a little outdated, if you look at the index "Ventura, Jesse" and "Ethanol" does not appear). It is billed on the back cover as a brief survey, which is exactly what it is. Unfortunately, that led to a number of topics feeling a bit rushed. Nonetheless, it is a good 300 page read for those wanting to get familiar with Minnesota's history or who want a brush-up.

Cherokee Women: Gender and Culture Change, 1700-1835 (Indians of the Southeast) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Perdue's work looks at gender roles in Cherokee society during the dramatic cultural upheaval of the 18th Century. It is a fascinating work which adds flesh to the historical skeletons that have centered on the Cherokee and European men's actions. One cannot truly understand the history and culture of a matrilineal people without a work of this type. This book is required reading for all scholars oof the Cherokee.

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.
