SUMMARY:"All is well except the women": Violence\, Gender\, and Native Wome
 n in the La Florida
DESCRIPTION:Early Modern Cosmopolitanisms Lecture\n–Alejandra Dubcovsky\,
  University of California\, Riverside\n\nIn 1695 a Native woman shocked a 
 Spanish officer with her deeply personal story of loss. She claimed that 
 a Spanish woman had murdered her baby. Soon other women came forward with 
 tales of abuse. These underexplored testimonies provide important insights
  into the lives and experiences of Native women in the 17th and 18th centu
 ries. This talk will focus on these women’s stories and shed light on th
 e gendered effects of the region’s rising violence. Native women’s liv
 es\, struggles\, and voices were far from marginal\; they were central to 
 the making and unmaking of the colonial world.\n\nAlejandra Dubcovsky is a
 n associate professor of history at the University of California\, Riversi
 de. She is the inaugural fellow for the Huntington Library-UCR Program for
  the Advancement of the Humanities. Her first book\, Informed Power: Comm
 unication in the Early American South (2016)\, won the 2016 Michael V. R
 . Thomason Book Award from the Gulf South Historical Association. Her work
  has been featured in several journals\, including Ethnohistory\, The Will
 iam and Mary Quarterly\, The Journal of Southern History\, Native South\, 
 and Early American Studies. She is now working on her second book tentativ
 ely titled\, "At the Frontlines of a Forgotten War: Gender\, Conflict\, an
 d Violence in La Florida."\n\nNo registration is required. There is no cha
 rge for this event.\n\nQuestions?\nContact Jeanette LaVere at jlavere@hum
