Abstract

[First paragraph] Correcting the continued erasure and marginalization of Native American and Indigenous peoples as historical actors unites the essays of Indigenous Borderlands: Native Agency, Resilience, and Power in the Americas, edited by Joaquín Rivaya-Martínez. Incorporating multidisciplinary approaches, the edited collection consists of thirteen essays, written by twelve scholars, analyzing “Indigenous agency, adaptiveness, resilience, sovereignty, and power,” across the Americas from precontact with Europeans and Africans to the twentieth century (pp. 1-2). The collection examines how Indigenous peoples adapted to European colonization to protect and maintain their sovereignty, cultures, and territories and, in so doing, shaped the creation of Indigenous borderlands.
