{"product_id":"the-shawnees-and-their-neighbors-stephen-warren-9780252076459","title":"The Shawnees and Their Neighbors, 1795-1870","description":"Stephen Warren traces the transformation in Shawnee sociopolitical organization over seventy years as it changed from village-centric, multi-tribe kin groups to an institutionalized national government led by wealthy men with only marginal kin ties to the people they claimed to represent. \u003ci\u003eThe Shawnees and Their Neighbors, 1795-1870\u003c\/i\u003e lays bare the myths and histories produced by Shawnee interpreters and their vested interests in modernizing the tribes. \u003cp\u003e Until recently, historians have assumed that Central Algonquians derive from politically unified tribes, but by analyzing the crucial role that individuals, institutions, and policies played in shaping modern tribal governments, Warren reveals a messier, more complicated history of migration and conflict. Ultimately, Warren establishes that the form of the modern Shawnee \"tribe\" was coerced in accordance with the U.S. government's desire for an entity with whom to do business, rather than as a natural development of traditional Shawnee ways. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Warren\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252076451\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252076459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Stephen Warren","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47202112864511,"sku":"9780252076459","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_280efc61-c403-49cd-ac1a-57bfe1d6f9d7.jpg?v=1756819677","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-shawnees-and-their-neighbors-stephen-warren-9780252076459","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
