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: âThe country can be rid of them only by exterminating them.â 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."--Publisher. 586 $a 2015 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature. 586 $a American Book Award 520 $a "The first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoples"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Historiography. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Colonization. 650 0 $a Indians, Treatment of $z United States $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x Colonization. 651 0 $a United States $x History. $x History. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government. 650 7 $a Colonization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00868483 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Colonization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969685 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Historiography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969772 650 7 $a Indians, Treatment of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00970120 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Race relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086509 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Dunbar-Ortiz, Roxanne, 1938- $t Indigenous peoples' history of the United States. $b Tenth-Anniversary edition $d Boston : Beacon Press, [2022] $z 9780807013144 $w (DLC) 2022053706 830 0 $a Revisioning American history. 941 $a 2 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20240611032841.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20231021032100.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C736BF606FD711EE93D6B80232ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
