These essays represent the various methods used by esteemed scholars today to study how Native Americans in the distant past created new social identities when old ideas of the self were challenged by changes in circumstance or by historical contingencies. Archaeologists, anthropologists, and folklorists working in the Southeast have always recognized the region's social diversity; indeed, the central purpose of these disciplines is to study peoples overlooked by the mainstream. Yet the ability to define and trace the origins of a collective social identity--the means by which individuals or groups align themselves, always in contrast to others--has proven to be an elusive goal. Here, editors Gregory A. Waselkov and Marvin T. Smith champion the relational identification and categorical identification processes, taken from sociological theory, as effective analytical tools. Taking up the challenge, the contributors have deployed an eclectic range of approaches to establish and inform an overarching theme of identity. Some investigate shell gorgets, textiles, shell trade, infrastructure, specific sites, or plant usage. Others focus on the edges of the Mississippian world or examine colonial encounters between Europeans and native peoples. A final chapter considers the adaptive malleability of historical legend in the telling and hearing of slave narratives"--Provided by publisher. 606 $aIndians of North America$zSouthern States$xAntiquities 606 $aIndians of North America$zSouthern States$xSocial life and customs 606 $aGroup identity$zSouthern States$xHistory 606 $aSocial archaeology$zSouthern States 606 $aEthnoarchaeology$zSouthern States 606 $aArchaeology and history$zSouthern States 606 $aFolklore$zSouthern States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xAntiquities. 615 0$aIndians of North America$xSocial life and customs. 615 0$aGroup identity$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial archaeology 615 0$aEthnoarchaeology 615 0$aArchaeology and history 615 0$aFolklore 676 $a975.004/97 702 $aWaselkov$b Gregory A. 702 $aSmith$b Marvin T. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910466032003321 996 $aForging Southeastern identities$92467126 997 $aUNINA
