Description
A New Perspective on American History For centuries, the history of the United States has been told from a European-American perspective. However, this narrative has largely omitted the experiences and struggles of Native Americans, who have been present in North America for thousands of years. Acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a fresh approach to understanding American history, one that centers on the perspectives and experiences of Indigenous peoples. This book reveals how Native Americans actively resisted the expansion of the US empire, challenging the dominant narrative and shedding light on the colonialist policies that have had lasting impacts on the country. By exploring this alternative perspective, Dunbar-Ortiz challenges the founding myth of the United States and provides a nuanced understanding of the complex history that has shaped the nation.
