Alejandra Dubcovsky maps channels of information exchange in the American South, exploring how colonists came into possession of knowledge in a region that lacked a regular mail system or a printing press until the 1730s. She describes ingenious oral networks, and she uncovers important lessons about the nexus of information and power.
Alejandra Dubcovsky offers a nuanced interpretation of the ways in which early Americans communicated. She is a master of the primary source evidence and employs her keen analytic abilities to reveal not only that knowledge was power in this early modern world but how it circulated and whom it benefited. A groundbreaking work.
-- Peter C. Mancall, University of Southern California
Dubcovsky's wonderful first book puts information networks at the center of early Southern history. The result is a persuasive, far-reaching, and utterly absorbing reinterpretation of the region's development and its people's experiences of power.
-- Joshua Piker, College of William & Mary
In the flow of messages and information across cultural boundaries, Dubcovsky casts native and colonial relations in a revealing new light.
