Steven C. Hahn. The Invention of the Creek Nation, 1670–1763. (Indians of the Southeast.) Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press. 2004. Pp. xii, 338. $59.95.

The history of southeastern Indian tribes has undergone a dramatic transformation in the last twenty years. The larger indigenous groups, such as the Choctaws, Cherokees, and the subjects of this book, the Creeks, are no longer seen as static, tribal societies. They are viewed as dynamic groups that historically embraced economic and political change. Steven C. Hahn argues that after the invasion of the Spanish force under Hern|$$|Aaan De Soto in 1539, a dramatic collapse occurred in the chieftanships of the southeast, but that out of the fragments of groups that survived a new nation was born, known as the modern Creeks. The change came slowly, taking shape after Queen Anne's War (1702–1713) and reaching full maturity by 1763.
