Book Review

Black, White, and Indian: Race and the Unmaking of an American Family. By Claudio Saunt. (New York: Oxford University Press, 2005. xii, 300 pp. Paper, $19.95, ISBN 978-0-19-531310-9.)
Writing family history, Claudio Saunt ruminates after attending a 2000 conference at Dartmouth College on black Indians, reveals that "African and Indian relationships are as fraught with tensions as those between Africans and Europeans" (p. 7). His subsequent research, more like walking barefoot through a field of cacti to characterize it bluntly, is a prickly foray into southwestern mixed racial history, chronicling five generations of the Grayson family.	1
Saunt is well suited to this study. His earlier work, A New Order of Things: Property, Power, and the Transformation of the Creek Indians, 1733–1816 (1999), won the 2000 Charles S. Sydnor Award for the best book in southern history and the Wheeler-Voegelin Award for the best book in ethnohistory. Saunt's recent study, Black, White, and Indian, recieved the William P. Clements Prize for the best nonfiction book on southwestern America.	. . .
