Southern history is far more complex and contradictory than is often acknowledged and focusing on the experiences of Indigenous southerners can help lay bare those complexities. This talk will go beyond a call to simply add more American Indians to studies of the region, and instead urge a reconceptualization of time, place, and power in the South.

Angela Pulley Hudson is an Auburn alumna (Class of ‘96) and currently professor of History at Texas A&M University. Her most recent book is "Real Native Genius: How an Ex-slave and a White Mormon Became Famous Indians." She co-edits, with Andrew Frank and Kristofer Ray, the “Indians and Southern History” series from the University of Alabama Press.

The event is free, open to the public, and will be followed by refreshments. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
