Hard Cover. Condizione: Near Fine. Near Fine. First Edition. First edition. Ink stamp on page base. 2003 Hard Cover. xii, 323 pp. A richly textured portrait of the famous Native leader Powhatan and his realm emerges in this revisionist study. For decades the English colonists at and around Jamestown lived in the shadow of a powerful confederation of Native American communities led by Powhatan. That realm encompassed the Tidewater area of Virginia from the James River to the Potomac River. For many years Powhatan skillfully staved off threats from other Native peoples and from European colonists. Despite the prominence of Powhatan during the early colonial years, our knowledge of him and life in his realm is filtered nearly completely through the eyewitness accounts of Europeans. In Powhatan Lords of Life and Death, an incisive structuralist perspective and an impressive synthesis and reinterpretation of available records by anthropologist Margaret Holmes Williamson provides a more complex and culturally appropriate view of the realm of Powhatan during the crucial early decades of the seventeenth century. Alternative conceptions of power and cosmology are set forth that force reconsideration of important components of Powhatan society, including the basis of leadership, the relationship between political leaders and religious specialists, the role of ritual, and the resonance of Powhatan cosmological beliefs with those of other southeastern Native peoples. Powhatan Lords of Life and Death revisits a pivotal figure in American history and enables us to appreciate more fully Powhatan and the fascinating world he helped to create.…

The fact that Powhatan culture prescribed anymmetric haircuts for men of chiefly or commoner class has gone almost unnoticed, and certainly unexplained, by most commentators. In this article it is assumed that the haircut was highly significant; and an explanation for the haircut is given in terms of cultural premises inferred from the seventeenth-century Colonial sources about the Indians. the haircut is seen to be an indication that men were by nature both male and female. It is concluded that hair itself was a symbol of creative potential, and that the style in which it was dressed indicated that potential in its wearer.
