Priests and Warriors: Social Structures for Cherokee Politics in the 18th Century is a scholarly work that explores the social and political structures of the Cherokee people in the 18th century. Written by Fred Gearing, a professor of anthropology at the University of Kansas, the book focuses on the roles of priests and warriors in Cherokee society and how they interacted with each other to shape the political landscape of the Cherokee nation.Gearing begins by providing a historical overview of the Cherokee people, their culture, and their interactions with European colonizers. He then delves into the social structures of Cherokee society, with a particular focus on the roles of priests and warriors. He examines the religious beliefs and practices of the Cherokee, including their use of sacred objects and rituals, and how these beliefs intersected with political power.Gearing also examines the role of warriors in Cherokee society, including their training, organization, and political influence. He argues that warriors played a crucial role in shaping Cherokee politics, both through their military prowess and their ability to negotiate with other tribes and European colonizers.Throughout the book, Gearing uses a range of primary sources, including Cherokee oral histories, European accounts of Cherokee society, and archaeological evidence, to build a detailed picture of Cherokee social and political structures in the 18th century. He also draws on anthropological theory to analyze the ways in which these structures functioned and evolved over time.Overall, Priests and Warriors provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of Cherokee society in the 18th century, shedding light on the complex relationships between religion, politics, and power in this fascinating culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
