This article explores the contours of a newly vibrant literature on American Indians and race in early America by reviewing the conclusions offered in ten books published between 2001 and 2004. It focuses on three issues: the Euro‐American move toward racializing Indians; the Native Americans’ own perspectives on difference and race; and the degree to which the beliefs of Native and Euro‐Americans emerged as a consequence of cross‐cultural conversations.
