The Raymond D. Fogelson Papers: Essays on Ethnohistory, Ethnology, and Native American Studies

Raymond D. Fogelson was a luminary theoretician in the interdisciplinary field of ethnohistory who advocated for Indigenous-centered theory and ethnographic writing in the field of Cherokee studies and ethnohistory. Fogelson's unique methodology was to look for institutions that Cherokees and Native peoples themselves considered traditional and to carefully study them.

Fogelson taught in the anthropology department at the University of Chicago and trained leading ethnohistorians of the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Dedicated to his graduate students, the corpus of his influential scholarship resides in journal articles, academic presentations, and public lectures. In this essential collection, Sergei Kan and Michael E. Harkin have assembled Fogelson's pioneering articles as a resource for ethnohistorians in the twenty-first century.
