Being Indigenous in Jim Crow Virginia
«“Drawing on both archival and published sources, Feller does an excellent job demonstrating the constructed nature of race in Virginia. She empathetically portrays Native Americans’ attempt to navigate these complex waters, which at times had them “playing Indian” to appeal to white nostalgia for the state’s earliest history, and at others had them rejecting past and present associations with Black Americans. Feller helps non-Indian readers understand the “fluidity, instability, and destructive power of the construction of race in America.”— The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography
