The Transformation of the Southeastern Indians, 1540-1760. Ed. by Robbie Ethridge and Charles Hudson. (Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, 2002. xl, 369 pp. $50.00, ISBN 1-57806-351-5.)9.95, ISBN 0-674-00332-2.)

This interdisciplinary collection of essays written by archaeologists, anthropologists, and historians originated in a symposium held at the University of Mississippi in 1998. The objective of the symposium was to reevaluate 'the transformation of the native peoples of the Southeast' from the first Spanish entrada into the region up through the Yamassee war in 1715. Research on southeastern Indian archaeology and ethnohistory has thrived in the past two decades as scholars have reinterpreted the region's history through thorough and contextualized readings of Spanish and French documents. Several excellent edited collections on the Southeast, containing articles by many of these same contributors, have appeared just in the past five years, and so it could be argued that at some point the market for such volumes will reach saturation. There are, however, at least two features of Robbie Ethridge and Charles Hudson's The Transformation of the Southeastern Indians that make their collection worth reading. . . .
