Also shout out to the Unitarian Universalist Association, my religion, for coming out and repudiating the Doctrine of Discovery (pg.200). May we all strive to remove that narrative from our head and see the history of the US for what it is, a history of violence, genocide, racism, and a false belief in our own godliness.

I was not the biggest fan of the writing style, and I think this book would have benefited from editing to make sure it maintained a tighter focus on its subject matter. At times the book seemed to skip around between geographic areas or time periods, without making clear who, where and when the narrative was describing.
Five stars for thesis. Four stars for writing style and readability.
