andquot;This wide-ranging and innovative collection places indigenous peoples at the heart of North Americaandrsquo;s borderlands history. andnbsp;It is a valuable addition to Native American, borderlands, and transnational history.andquot;andmdash;Benjamin H. Johnson, Loyola University, Chicago
andldquo;This breathtakingly expansive collection narrates the experiences of dozens of indigenous groups and covers everything chronologically from Mesoamerica to the present, geographically from Mexico to Canada, and a wide range of themes including archaeology, gaming, raiding, citizenship, religion, colonization, assimilation, migration, and land rights. It advances new concepts of transnationalism and should be read by everyone interested in comparative indigenous histories of North America and beyond. Above all, it shows how our continent has always been, and is today, shaped by native peoples who despite their many differences also share much in common.andrdquo;andmdash;Geraldo L. Cadava, Associate Professor of History at Northwestern University, author of Standing on Common Ground: The Making of a Sunbelt Borderland (Harvard, 2013)
This collection of eleven original essays goes beyond traditional, border-driven studies to place the histories of Native Americans, indigenous peoples, and First Nation peoples in a larger context than merely that of the dominant nation
