Circa 1800, independent Na�ve groups s�ll effec�vely controlled about half the territory of the Americas. How did they maintain their poli�cal autonomy, centuries a�er the arrival of Europeans? Heather F. Roller examines this history of persistence from the perspec�ve of autonomous Na�ve peoples in Brazil.
Through a geographical lens Alan P. Marcus provides a new synthesis for interpre�ng the Confederado story and for understanding the impact of the various stakeholders who encouraged, aided, promoted, financed, and facilitated this broader emigra�on from the US South to Brazil.

Acosta Morales examines how historical archetypes in violent narra�ves on the Mexican American fron�er have resulted in poli�cal discourse that feeds back into real violence. Narra�ves on bandits, cowboys, and desperadoes promise redistribu�on, regenera�on, and community, but they o�en bring about the very opposite of those goals. 3

Argues that the women of the Minutemen were mo�vated in part by the gendered experience of aging in America. Emphasizes another side of na�onalism: the yearning for inclusion. The na�on the Minutemen imagined was not only a space of exclusion, but also one in which these women could belong.

Migrants between Central and North America are threatened by physical, legal, social, and economic mortality. The case studies in this �mely collec�on contribute to understanding broader movements for life and jus�ce in the Americas.
The idea that successful missions needed Indigenous revolts and missionary deaths seems counterintui�ve, but it became a central logic of fron�er coloniza�on in Spanish North America. Brandon Bayne shows how Jesuit missionaries found power in their persecu�on.
