place working in Native American and Indigenous studies today.
Indigenous London is a major contribution to the growing
scholarship of the Red Atlantic.”—Jace Weaver, author of The Red
Atlantic: American Indigenes and the Making of the Modern World,
1000-1927
*Jace Weaver*
“In this elegantly written and wide-ranging book Coll Thrush
successfully challenges the widely assumed binary between urban
civilization and indigenous people. In his exciting and always
illuminating tour of the indigenous presence in the metropolis of
the British Empire from the 16th to the 21st century, Thrush
recovers the ways in which North American, New Zealand, and
Australian native peoples sought to challenge settler
colonialism. This book is a must read for those interested in
indigenous peoples, London and the British Empire.”—Steve Pincus,
author of 1688: The First Modern Revolution
*Steve Pincus*
“This is a truly innovative and engaging book. It demonstrates
splendidly how the presence of these visitors stimulated a great
deal of curiosity and speculation, as we would expect, but also
forced Londoners to see the city through their eyes.”—Karen
Kupperman, New York University
*Karen Kupperman*
“In this extraordinarily rich and compelling book, Coll Thrush has
succeeded admirably in bringing to life the half-millennium-long
phenomenon of Indigenous engagement with London. A terrific work of
scholarship and a stunning act of authorial invention.”—Eric
Hinderaker, author of The Two Hendricks: Unraveling a Mohawk
Mystery
*Eric Hinderaker*
