About this product

Product Information

New York Times Bestseller Now part of the HBO docuseries "Exterminate All the Brutes," written and directed by Raoul Peck Recipient of the American Book Award The first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoples Today in the United States, there are more than five hundred federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen 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. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire. With growing support for movements such as the campaign to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples' Day and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is an essential resource providing historical threads that are crucial for understanding the present. In An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States , 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. Shockingly, as the genocidal policy reached its zenith under President Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was best articulated by US Army general Thomas S. Jesup, who, in 1836, wrote of the Seminoles: "The country can be rid of them only by exterminating them." Spanning more than four hundred years, this classic bottom-up peoples' history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative. An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is a 2015 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature.

    Important historical reference

    This book should be required reading in every American school. It shatters many of the myths and other long-held beliefs about the colonization of the "Americas" and the why, how and what happened to the many millions of indigenous people who were victims of genocidal war at the hands of Europeans and then the United States. It's the story of America's longest war, that against the natives, that arguably has never quite ended...

  • History from the Native American viewpoint.

    I haven’t read much of it yet, but have already learned that Christopher Columbus never set foot on the U.S., and we used to have a different national anthem from The Star Spangled Banner. The book is in good condition. I’m pleased.

  • Diamond in the rough.

    Haven’t read it yet, but seen the movie “Exterminate all the Brutes”, which her book is made into is incorporated in this documentary film. Real history, not ideology. Liberation from American government lies.

  • An alternative view of US History

    A very different point of view about some of the major points of "American" history. Shows that the 'victors' DO get to write the history books.

  • If you're a US citizen, you owe it to them to read it.

    It tells an unflinching history of the indigenous people of the US. The plight of Native Americans under the boot of European invaders.
