I'm updating the syllabus for my "Indigenous Economies and Empire" grad seminar. What books/articles (re: anywhere in the world and any period) would you include? #histodons@histodons@econhist

Guns, Germs, and Steel. Even though a lot of historians poopoo Diamond's main argument I'd add it because it speaks towards your subject.
A moving text by my colleague Paul Cohen in memoriam to Natalie Zemon Davis. Paul addresses both Natalie's singular scholarly contributions and her importance to those who were fortunate enough to know her. #histodons@histodons
Natalie Zemon Davis, one of the greats, has passed. I was fortunate to meet her on several occasions - she was an emeritus professor in my department. Beyond her formidable published body of work, mostly focused on early modern France, I was always struck by her generosity and genuine interest in others' research, regardless of field or stature. RIP. #histodons@histodons
Very useful historical collection of digitized primary sources: Oklahoma State University Libraries' Tribal Treaties Database. In beta, the database includes agreements between tribal nations and the United States (1778-1886), including links to both scans of the original treaties from the National Archives and versions published after the fact. #histodons@histodons
The Business History Review has just published a thematic issue on Business, Capitalism, and Slavery. For a limited time only, the articles are open access. #histodons@histodons@econhist
