Talking Back

Native Women and the Making of the Early South

By: Alejandra Dubcovsky

A pathbreaking look at Native women of the early South who defined power and defied authority "An artful, powerful book. . . . [A] substantial contribution to our knowledge of women in the so-called 'forgotten centuries' of European colonialism in the southeast."--Malinda Maynor Lowery, author of The Lumbee Indians "A remarkable book. Alejandra Dubcovsky pursued relentless research to uncover the histories of women previously unseen, even unnamed. As Dubcovsky shows, they had names, they had families, they had lives that mattered. The historical landscape is transformed by their presence."--Lisa Brooks, author of Our Beloved Kin Historian Alejandra Dubcovsky tells a story of war, slavery, loss, remembrance, and the women whose resilience and resistance transformed the colonial South. In exploring their lives she rewrites early American history, challenging the established male-centered narrative. Dubcovsky reconstructs the lives of Native women--Timucua, Apalachee, Chacato, and Guale--to show how they made claims to protect their livelihoods, bodies, and families. Through the stories of the Native cacica who demanded her authority be recognized; the elite Spanish woman who turned her dowry and household into a source of independent power; the Floridiana who slapped a leading Native man in the town square; and the Black woman who ran a successful business at the heart of a Spanish town, Dubcovsky reveals the formidable women who claimed and used their power, shaping the history of the early South.

Informed Power

By: Alejandra Dubcovsky

Alejandra Dubcovsky maps channels of information exchange in the American South, exploring how colonists came into possession of knowledge in a region that lacked a regular mail system or a printing press until the 1730s. She describes ingenious oral networks, and she uncovers important lessons about the nexus of information and power.
