Pocahontas And The Powhatan Dilemma

CAMILLA TOWNSEND

Publication: Hill and Wang, 2004, New York

First edition. 223 pp. Contents. Preface. Index. Fine in dust jacket. The author traces Pocahontas's life from her childhood and youth (when her strength and athletic ability rivaled the best of either sex) to her eventual marriage to John Rolfe and her move to England. Townsend presents her as shrewd in working for her people's best interests, and self-assured and confident of her abilities to construct her own identity in a world dominated by powerful and imperialistic others.
