Böcker av Alejandra Dubcovsky

A pathbreaking look at Native women of the early South who defined power and defied authority

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.
