Native Americans of New England
Saturday, Oct. 22, 2-3pm
Professor Christoph Strobel will explore the history of Native Americans in New England. We'll look at the impact that colonization, dispossession, and racism had on the story of Indigenous peoples in the region, and we'll also explore Native American resistance, adaptation, and survival under harsh and unfavorable circumstances. Professor Strobel will discuss some of the colonial legacies that still shape the views and perceptions about Indigenous peoples to this day. Christoph Strobel is Professor of History at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. He is the author of Native Americans of New England (A 2021 Choice Outstanding Academic Title), The Global Atlantic: 1400–1900, The Testing Grounds of Modern Empire, and Daily Life of Native Americans from Post-Columbian through Nineteenth-Century America (co-authored with Alice Nash). Christoph has also published three books on immigration, and his scholarly essays appear in many academic journals and in various edited collections. Registration is required; join us in the library or tune in online.
