tales of an American East. This is especially true in the American South, where removal
facilitated a tragic but significant transition to the cotton kingdom and Confederacy.
Jane Dinwoodie challenges this narrative, exploring the histories of the thousands of
Indigenous southerners who avoided removal. She chronicles a strategy she calls eva-
sion: a process by which these Indigenous southerners seized the South’s most difficult
terrains to eschew agents (often so effectively that they left little trace in the official
archive). Like maroon communities and fugitives throughout global history, Indigenous
southerners used evasion to resist colonial control and sustain an Indigenous South that
endures today.
LaDale C. Winling and Todd M. Michney explore a new set of characters in the aca-
demic and real estate worlds of the 1920s and 1930s. This network of economists, busi-
ness researchers, and real estate leaders created and promoted new ideas about real estate
value, risk, and finance in the 1920s structured around race. These ideas, and the people
who created them, were a ready resource for policy makers with the onset of the Great
Depression. They advocated for legislation and populated the leadership of the Home
Owners’ Loan Corporation (holc) and the Federal Housing Administration (fha), and
were key in creating and using the redlining maps that have since made holc and the
fha notorious.
Early in the Cold War, Texas public schools adopted a program to teach Spanish to
their youngest Anglo students. Championed by state education and political leaders as
a means to make Texas a leader in Pan-American diplomacy, the effort was more truly
grounded in Anglo Texans’ fear of racial and economic decline. Jonna Perrillo shows
that this was most evident in El Paso, where Mexican American students outnumbered
Anglo students and where Anglo parents most feared their children losing out in an in-
creasingly bilingual marketplace. This seemingly progressive education platform, then,
offers a new view into postwar racial anxiety and the products of white entitlement.
In the 1960s and 1970s the United States built an enormous infrastructure for com-
munity treatment: sixty-five thousand beds in small-scale residential facilities. Despite
treatment-focused and anti-institutional rationales, community treatment initiatives

matured to become part of mass incarceration’s systems for punishment and involun-
tary confinement. Cyrus J. O’Brien traces the trajectory of U.S. halfway houses to
argue that treatment and punishment are not dichotomous but employ nearly identical
technologies for control, surveillance, and confinement; the carceral state encompassed
liberal treatment interventions including community treatment centers and mental asy-
lums; and private interests—especially religious organizations—played pivotal roles in
funding, expanding, and legitimating state intervention.
