"The volume is one that experts on Native American and early American history, graduate and undergraduate students, and nonspecialists should find useful, engaging, and interesting."—D. Andrew Johnson, Journal of Southern History

«“This impressive anthology tells the remarkable story of the Yamasee Indians, and in the telling, reveals the opportunities, upheavals, and strategies for survival of Native communities living on the edge of an expanding European empire.”—Robbie Ethridge, professor of anthropology at the University of Mississippi and author of From Chicaza to Chickasaw: The European Invasion and the Transformation of the Mississippian World, 1540–1715»

«“A much-needed, remarkably thorough, and impressively interdisciplinary investigation of a critically important but all-too-often-misunderstood Native nation. Anyone with an interest in the early American South and its people should read this book.”—Joshua Piker, editor of the William and Mary Quarterly, Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, and professor of history at the College of William & Mary»

«“This anthology makes a fine addition to the extant scholarship on the Yamasee people, offers a balanced juxtaposition of disciplinary and thematic approaches to the subject, and builds on the scholarship that has come before while casting an eye toward what might be some promising areas for future study. The chapters all interconnect in ways that bespeak a kind of collective and collaborative approach to the topic at hand.”—James Taylor Carson, professor and head of the School of Humanities, Languages, and Social Science at Griffith University in Brisbane and author of  Thee Columbian Covenant: Race and the Writing of American History»

"With deep readings of archaeological and historical traces, these essays fit exceptionally well together to lend a comprehensive view of Yamasee history and culture in the late seventeenth and eighteenth centuries."—Jonathan Hancock, Florida Historical Quarterly

"The Yamasee Indians is a welcome addition to scholarship on southeastern Indigenous peoples. It will also be useful for scholars who focus on other regions and time periods. . . . In including analysis of Yamasee individuals, families, and towns, the volume irrefutably proves that Yamasees’ experiences before, during, and after the Yamasee War were far from monolithic."—Garrett Wright, Native American and Indigenous Studies
