Abstract:The words we use matter, yet they undergo constant change in ways sometimes subtle, sometimes dramatic. There is power in naming, or misnaming, and in who gets to decide. Ideally, this Critical Engagements forum will contribute to our collective, conscious, and rigorous interrogation of the terms we use and why we use them.

as many embarked on Grand Tour pilgrimages to Paris and Rome. It would have been in ter est ing to hear what Walcutt and his circle thought of this enthusiasm for Catholic aesthetics among their contemporaries, and if such interests further split along the fine versus commercial art divide Katz describes. A True American is of interest to scholars of the early republic beyond what ever relevance it has to twentyfirstcentury discussions of nativism. It provides a wealth of visual sources for understanding the period as well as for teaching in the classroom, many of which have been underexamined by scholars. It is useful not only for scholars of nativism and antiCatholicism but also for those interested in the history of the industrial book, providing a visual companion to the printed “mechanic accents” of the era. Moreover, A True American brings the visual culture of fraternal orders and artisan brotherhoods to life, allowing readers to glimpse the vibrant imagery that adorned these spaces.

Abstract:This piece considers the use of the terms Indigenous, American Indian, Native American, and Indian in historical writing. Placing each of these labels in historical context, Bauer and Ellis trace the evolution of language used to talk about Native Americans and offer context and critiques of diverse usages. By tracking between the past and present, the authors also consider contemporary terminology usage among Native communities, and demonstrate generational shifts among their own communities. Bauer and Ellis argue in favor of using the specific names of tribal nations whenever possible and demonstrate that generalizing terms, like Indigenous and Native American primarily serve to describe Native peoples through their relations to colonization rather than on their own terms.

Abstract:Historians' decisions about what words to use to describe historical actors can be affected by editing practices and community norms. However, historians must also be attentive to how historical actors understood their own identities and life experiences as well.

Abstract:In this essay, Vanessa M. Holden foregrounds her experience working with her local community in an exploration of the use of the terms "slave" and "ensalved" in historical writing. She engages with primary material and historians' own careful public debate about both terms. An ongoing conversation in the feild of slavery scholarship accross multiple historical contexts, the two terms deserve to be approached with nuance and care for the lives of those held in bondage during the period of Atlantic slavery.

A key concept in Native American and Indigenous Studies, survivance offers methodological possibilities as well for researchers working in early American history but the term needs to be approached with care.
