An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz

challenging dark informative medium-paced

5.0

An eye-opening history of the United States from an Indigenous viewpoint. I'm appalled at the amount of information here that was new to me, from enlightened Indigenous land-management techniques scorned by European settlers, to the way that the genocidal wars against Native nations formed and still inspire U.S. militarism and nationalism. This should be required reading, especially for my generation of Boomers who grew up on a history that both denigrated and romanticized Indigenous people and a vision of a modern United States where they had been effectively erased.
