NEW-2004: Handbook of North American Indians Vol 14: Southeast.
Florida Seminole, 1852. Smithsonian, NAA.Raymond D. FOGELSON, Volume Editor. Published in 2004
The Southeast Indians were sophisticated farmers, hunters, gatherers, and fishers occupying a diverse region extending from the Blue Ridge Mountains of the Southern
Appalachians, the Carolina Piedmont, the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains, Florida, and west of the mountains to the rich valley of the southern Mississippi River. The complexity and uniqueness of the Southeast culture area is detailed in 64 chapters written by 63 leading authorities, both anthropologists and historians.

Separate chapters describe and illustrate the culture of each major tribe and tribal group, their history, transformation, and evolution over time. Regional and subregional overviews frame these and summarize the long prehistory of the area. Special topic chapters examine broad aspects of culture that characterize the Southeast and cross-cut tribal lines.

Introductory chapters explore the history of research in the area, languages spoken, and environment, and synthesize information on many small groups inadequately described in the historical literature. 508 illustrations--maps, drawings, paintings, engravings, photographs. Essays on sources, extensive bibliography, detailed index.

This two-volume set of The Cambridge History of the Native Peoples of the Americas gives a comprehensive and authoritative overview of all the important native civilizations of the Mesoamerican area, beginning with archaeological discussions of paleoindian, archaic and preclassic societies, and continuing to the present. Fully illustrated and engagingly written, the book is divided into sections that discuss the native cultures of Mesoamerica before and after their first contact with the Europeans. The various chapters balance theoretical points of view as they trace the cultural history and evolutionary development of such groups as the Olmec, the Maya, the Aztec, the Zapotec, and the Tarascan. The chapters covering the prehistory of Mesoamerica offer explanations for the rise and fall of the Classic Maya, the Olmec, and the Aztec, giving multiple interpretations of debated topics, such as the nature of Olmec culture. Through specific discussions of the native peoples of the different regions of Mexico, the chapters on the period since the arrival of the Europeans address the themes of contact, exchange, transfer, survivals, continuities, resistance, and the emergence of modern nationalism and the nation-state.
• Comprehensive: all major cultures covered • Authoritative: all authors are specialists who are outstanding in their fields • Well written, accessible to both scholarly and lay audiences

This two-volume set of the Cambridge History of the Native Peoples of the Americas, is the first major survey of research on the indigenous peoples of South America from the earliest peopling of the continent to the present since Julian Steward’s Handbook of South American Indians was published half a century ago. Although this volume concentrates on continental South America, peoples in the Caribbean and lower Central America who were linguistically or culturally connected are also discussed. This volume is an ‘idea-oriented history’, emphasizing the development of general themes instead of presenting every group and society. Indigenous peoples’ own stories of the past are used as well as the standard accounts written by outsiders. Research is presented following regional and conceptual frameworks; some chapters overlap or present differing interpretations. The volume’s emphasis is on self-perceptions of the indigenous peoples of South America at various times and under differing situations.
• First comprehensive history of native peoples living in South America to be published in fifty years • Includes multiple perspectives, provided by authors of different backgrounds and indigenous people’s own stories • Emphasises indigenous people’s perceptions of themselves

This is a wonderful idea.
The coverage is very impressive and the tone very consistent. A very welcome research tool

     Library patrons no longer have to search through dozens of references on North, South and Central America for current information on the Native Peoples of the Americas with the publication of NATIVE PEOPLES A to Z – A Reference Guide to Native Peoples of the Western Hemisphere.
     NATIVE PEOPLES A to Z provides librarians and media specialists with a current reference work that reflects the changing times and attitudes of, and towards the indigenous peoples of all the regions of the Americas. Native People living in North America represent less than four percent of Indians of the Western Hemisphere. Bolivia has three times the Native People population of the United States. Mexico has about fifteen times as many Native Peoples as the United States. To truly understand the history and cultures of Native Peoples of the Western Hemisphere one must examine all the groups and regions of the Americas.
     The demand for a reference work of this dimension springs from the growing interest in Native Peoples affairs over the last fifty years.
Allied with this has been the realization in North America that while Native Americans remain citizens of their respective states, they are also members of a wider Native Peoples community stretching from the Arctic in the north to the Antarctic in the south
     The Second Edition contains a new section − Internet Resources. This new section provides the names of websites and links on Native Peoples of the western hemisphere.  Hundreds of color pictures have been added to enhance the visual quality of the expertly written text. The updated Chronology section brings attention to the new accomplishments and challenges facing the Native Peoples of the western hemisphere. An expanded Bibliography contains the latest titles published on Native Peoples
