Résumé

Wild Frenchmen and Frenchified Indians offers a distinctive and original reading of racialization in early America. Focusing on cultural cross-dressing from a wide range of sources, Sophie White shows that material culture-especially dress-was central to discourses about race, as colonization was built on encounters mediated by appearance.
