Fresh Ink: Memory Lands by Christine M. DeLucia

Congratulations to two-time JCB fellow Christine M. DeLucia for the publication of Memory Lands: King Philip’s War and the Place of Violence in the Northeast (Yale University Press, 2018). King Philip’s war – one of the most devastating conflicts between Native Americans and European settlers in the early Americas – is ever on the minds of those who live in the northeast. Focusing on themes of land and water rights, sovereignty, resistance, cultural memory, and intercultural interactions, Memory Lands draws from many sources to re-examine the Pilgrim-centric narrative surrounding King Philip’s War, including oral traditions, archaeology, material and visual culture.
