Abstract David Silverman offers a critical appraisal of two prizewinning works in Native American and Indigenous studies (NAIS), Our Beloved Kin: A New History of King Philip’s War, by Lisa Brooks, and Memory Lands: King Philip’s War and the Place of Violence in the Northeast, by Christine M. DeLucia. Silverman’s review treats the methodology associated with NAIS with some skepticism, offering the opportunity for a lively discussion about the merits and perils of community-engaged history scholarship. Four scholars of Native American history, including DeLucia, respond, defending new approaches to Indigenous history represented by these recent works.

Inúmeros trabalhos nacionais e internacionais, nos campos da etnohistória e da arqueologia, apontam o Alto São Francisco como área de domínio da “temível nação Cataguá”, que teria ocupado este território ao longo dos séculos XVI e XVII. Este artigo tem como objetivo demonstrar através de uma análise comparativa entre fontes secundárias e primárias que a existência de tal grupo é uma quimera, decorrente do hábito dos exploradores paulistas de criar atribuições generalizantes para diferentes grupos indígenas não falantes do tupi.

The chapter aims to demonstrate that Seleucid writings from and about Babylon provide insight into the ways in which literature was used to construct and reflect practices of empire. The literature dealing with Babylonia is of special significance because of the important ideological position Babylon held in the Seleucid imagination. To unpack this point further, the chapter analyses the Borsippa Cylinder as Seleucid literature, by arguing that King Antiochus I combined motifs from Mesopotamian kingship and Hellenistic royal practices to create a narrative of Seleucid euergetism embedded in, rather than superimposed upon, Babylonian traditions of kingship. The second part of the chapter argues that the Babylonian elites reciprocated the king’s offer of benefaction by offering him the tradition of Babylonian kingship, and by extension, universal dominion. The chapter concludes by looking at Ptolemaic attempts to match Seleucid prowess in the field of indigenous history. It is argued that, just as Seleucid Berossus had responded to the Ptolemaic Hecataeus, Manetho provided a Ptolemaic-Egyptian version of history to match the history of Babylon by Berossus.
