Abstract: The interaction between early English colonists and the native peoples of the New World has received major scholarly attention in the last five years. (See, in addition to Subject Matter: K. O. Kupperman, Indians and English: Facing Off in Early America, Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press, 2000; and M. Daunton and R. Halpern, eds., Empire and Others: British Encounters With Indigenous Peoples, 1600–1850. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1999.) These studies were spurred, in fair part, by colloquia sponsored by the William and Mary Quarterly and University College, London, in 1996 and 1997. The colloquia addressed questions of the cultural construction of race and racism as contacts with new regions and their peoples developed. Both Joyce Chaplin and Karen Kupperman contributed to the William and Mary Quarterly's colloquium.
