• Sommario/riassunto: A work of original scholarship and compelling sweep, 'Okfuskee' is a community-centred Indian history with an explicitly comparativist agenda. Joshua Piker uses the history of Okfuskee, an 18th century Creek town, to reframe standard narratives of both Native and American experiences.
