摘要

本文将被称为“马里兰的波卡洪塔斯”的玛丽·基塔昆德·布伦特的一生置于17世纪马里兰州跨文化外交的大背景下。书中认为,11岁的女孩玛丽是皮斯卡塔韦邦联塔亚克(首领)的女儿,而40岁的吉尔斯·布伦特则是一个富裕的英国天主教家庭的成员,这段婚姻表明,在一个特别动荡的时代,性和生殖是建立团体间外交关系和确保权力的关键策略。揭示了玛丽·基塔玛昆德·布伦特作为切萨皮克部落和盎格鲁-马里兰人之间权力斗争的具体场所的地位,揭示了土著妇女在外交中的作用和种族间联盟中亲属关系的重要性。本文简要介绍了皮斯卡塔威和马里兰殖民历史的背景,将贾尔斯和玛丽·基塔玛昆德·布伦特的婚姻置于语境中,分析了性和生育在西海岸外交中的地位,并考虑了玛丽·基塔玛昆德·布伦特在17世纪切萨皮克历史中的地位。

Mary Kittamaquund Brent, "The Pocahontas of Maryland": Sex, Marriage, and Diplomacy in the Seventeenth-Century Chesapeake
abstract:This essay situates the life of Mary Kittamaquund Brent, the so-called "Pocahontas of Maryland," within the larger context of intercultural diplomacy in seventeenth-century Maryland. It argues that the marriage between Mary, an eleven-year-old girl and the daughter of the Tayac (chief) of the Piscataway Confederacy, and Giles Brent, a forty-year-old member of a wealthy English Catholic family, demonstrates that sex and reproduction were key strategies for establishing diplomatic relationships between groups and for securing power in a particularly tumultuous time. Illuminating Mary Kittamaquund Brent's position as an embodied locus of power struggles between Chesapeake tribes and Anglo-Marylanders discloses both the role of Indigenous women in diplomacy and the importance of kinship in interethnic alliances. This article provides a brief background of Piscataway and Maryland colonial history, contextualizes the marriage of Giles and Mary Kittamaquund Brent, analyzes the place of sex and reproduction in western shore diplomacy, and considers Mary Kittamaquund Brent's place in the history of the seventeenth-century Chesapeake.
