Households and Hegemony: Early Creek Prestige Goods, Symbolic Capital, and Social Power. By Cameron B. Wesson. (Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2008. xxviii, 228 pp. $55.00, ISBN 978-0-8032-4795-6.)

Wesson examines the role that individual households played in defining Creek politics, society, economics, and culture and insists that these households—not devastating diseases or powerful chiefs—determined the fate of the Creek people after contact with Europeans. By taking an anthropological approach, Wesson makes an important contribution to the growing field of Creek studies. But he spends far too much time discussing previous literature and not enough time sharing his own research and findings.
