Memory Lands: King Philip's War and the Place of Violence is a 2018 book by Williams College history professor Christine DeLucia.[1] The book was published by Yale University Press's Henry Roe Cloud Series on American Indians and Modernity.[2] It looks at over three hundred years of Indigenous history from King Philip's War to the present day, mostly in the North American Northeast, as well as in Bermuda. The book focuses on the role of place and details the continued presence of Indigenous peoples and memory in Bastoniak (Boston), Narragansett (roughly overlapping with Rhode Island), along the middle of the Kwinitekw (Connecticut River) Valley, and Bermuda.
