"This book traces the process of racialization for both the Native American and wider North Carolinian populations in the decades that followed the Tuscarora War (1711-1715), using previously undiscovered material to chart the dehumanization that occurred as well as the repercussions of the tributary policies that were still felt nearly 200 years after the conflict"--
