From Chicaza to Chickasaw: The European Invasion and the Transformation of the Mississippian World, 1540-1715 (repost)

Robbie Ethridge, "From Chicaza to Chickasaw: The European Invasion and the Transformation of the Mississippian World, 1540-1715"
Publisher: The University of North Carolina Press | ISBN 10: 0807834351 | 2010 | PDF | 352 pages | 6 MB

In this sweeping regional history, anthropologist Robbie Ethridge traces the metamorphosis of the Native South from first contact in 1540 by Hernando De Soto to the dawn of the eighteenth century, when indigenous people no longer lived in a purely Indian world but rather on the edge of an expanding European empire and in a new social landscape that included a large population of Europeans and Africans. Despite the fact that thousands of Indians died or were enslaved and virtually all Native polities were radically altered in these years, the collapse of this complex Mississippian world did not extinguish the Native peoples of the South but rather transformed them.
