Abstract
This article explores the contours of a newly vibrant literature on American Indians and race in early America by reviewing the conclusions offered in ten books published between 2001 and 2004. It focuses on three issues: the Euro-American move toward racializing Indians; the Native Americans’ own perspectives on difference and race; and the degree to which the beliefs of Native and Euro-Americans emerged as a consequence of cross-cultural conversations.
