In the present day in america, there are greater than 5 hundred federally acknowledged Indigenous nations comprising practically three million folks, descendants of the fifteen million Native individuals who as soon as inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial routine has largely been omitted from historical past. Now, for the primary time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz
gives a historical past of america informed from the attitude of Indigenous peoples and divulges how Native Individuals, for hundreds of years, actively resisted growth of the US empire.
An essential resource for understanding the present, "An Indigenous Peoples’ History of America" delves into vital historical threads. The book challenges the founding myth of America, shedding light on colonialist policies that aimed to displace or eliminate Indigenous peoples. As author Dunbar-Ortiz unveils, this ruthless policy found praise in popular culture, literature, and even the highest echelons of government and the military. The narrative reaches its climax during President Andrew Jackson's era, where genocidal intentions were openly expressed by figures like US Army general Thomas S. Jesup. Spanning over four centuries, this bottom-up peoples’ history reframes US history and addresses the silences that have permeated our national narrative.
In 2015, "An Indigenous Peoples’ Historical Past of America" received the prestigious PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature. This book delves into the rich historical legacy of indigenous peoples in America.
