Huguenot Refugees in Colonial New York: Becoming American in the Hudson Valley. By Paula Wheeler Carlo. (Brighton: Sussex Academic, 2005. xii, 252 pp. $67.50, ISBN 1-84519-059-9.)

Paula Wheeler Carlo has produced a concise, richly detailed, and thoroughly researched account of rural New York Huguenots that gives us a more nuanced understanding of this group's role in colonial America. Using techniques ranging from architectural interpretation to quantification, Carlo's account is solidly grounded in local sources. At the same time, this volume makes an important interpretative argument. Rejecting the predominant theory that Huguenots always assimilated rapidly into mainstream colonial culture, Carlo contends that French Calvinists who settled in nearly homogeneous rural communities such as New Paltz and New Rochelle maintained much of their culture well into the eighteenth century.
