Book Review

Native Seattle: Histories from the Crossing-Over Place. By Coll Thrush. Foreword by William Cronon. (Seattle: University of Washington Press, 2007. xxi + 326 pp. Illustrations, maps, notes, bibliography, index. $28.95, £17.99.)

Scholars traditionally cast urban and American Indian history as mutually exclusive fields. Coll Thrush's groundbreaking Native Seattle corrects this perception, arguing that "what it meant to be urban and what it meant to be Native have been inextricably linked in Seattle" (p. 13). He explains how Seattleites appropriated Indians and Indian imagery to tell powerful place-stories and to construct the city's unique Indian identity while dispossessing local indigenous peoples. Coupled with Matthew Klingle's Emerald City (New Haven, 2007)—both authors see their books as companion studies—this book explores Seattle's attempts to re-engineer its mixed-race environment while engineering the landscape.
