À propos de cet audio
Today in the United States, there are more than 500 federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the 15 million Native people who once inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military. Spanning more than 400 years, this classic bottom-up peoples' history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative.

sad, degrading, devastating
felt dirty reading the book. it occupies a spot of Honor on my shelf but is up there with American Holocaust for horrible acts committed in the natives.
up there with Howard zinns books. could be longer and tighter.

The history colonists don’t want you to hear
The behaviors described in this book are appalling. The US government (and its little brother Canada) have done incalculable damage to indigenous people all around the world, yet managed to spin their barbaric acts as heroism. This book gives a long ugly look under the carpets where ugly facts have been swept for centuries. CAVEAT: This is a tough book to take in by audio...the writing is scholarly and dense, the sentences are long and complex. If your mind tends to wander as you listen to audio books you’ll be lost and need to rewind again and again. It’s a must-read work that will have you grimacing in horror, but get a paper copy to savor and leave the listening for lighter fare.

A fine example of honest history
A different and honest take on USA history.This is worth reading to counter the usual patriotic myths.

looks good
These stories and theories support the first hand and other stories I've heard from local indigenous people.

Striking Untold History
This book tells the story of the brutal settlement of the United States (and to a lesser extent all of North and South America) from an indigenous perspective. While I do think the author overstated her case in some instances, and was less than charitable towards the settlers who endured poverty and hardship as well, the book is still very well written. The author proves a very knowledgeable historian who was able to form a coherent narrative. The book changed my perspective, and inspite of its harsh subject matter, I couldn't get enough of it.

A hot mess
Bites off more than it can chew and winds up a hot mess. Author tries to cover far too much terrain outside of an already complex subject in a short work and winds up doing a disservice to all of it. I really wanted to like this book but it is disappointing.
