Greetings all,
Join the Harvard Early & Native American History Workshop for our Spring
Semester Guest Lecture from Dr. Benjamin Madley of the University of
California, Los Angeles, who will present his recent chapter, "'Too
Furious': The Genocide of Connecticut's Pequot Indians, 1636-1640," from
The Cambridge World History of Genocide (Cambridge University Press, 2023).
The 1636-1637 Pequot War and its aftermath were formative events in the
making of New England and North America. Dr. Madley's chapter summarizes
the ongoing modern Pequot genocide debate, narrates the cataclysm, provides
new death toll estimates, discusses dispersal and enslavement as genocidal
strategies, reevaluates colonists' culpability, and explains how this
catastrophe constituted genocide under the 1948 United Nations Genocide
Convention.
*This is a hybrid event, and we encourage those joining virtually (and in
