In this riveting book, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz decolonizes American history and ...strips us of our forged innocence, shocks us into new awarenesses and draws a straight line from the sins of our fathers -settler-colonialism, the doctrine of discovery, the myth of manifest destiny, white supremacy, theft and systematic killing-to the contemporary condition of permanent war, invasion and occupation, mass incarceration, and the constant use and threat of state violence. Best of all, she points a way beyond amnesia, paralyzing guilt, or helplessness toward discovering our deepest humanity in a project of truth-telling and repair. An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States will forever change the way we read history and understand our own responsibility to it." - Bill Ayers
"An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United ...serves as an indispensable text for students of all ages... The American Indians' perspective has been absent from colonial histories for too long, leaving continued misunderstandings of our struggles for sovereignty and human rights."- Peterson Zah, former President of the Navajo Nation
Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz grew up in rural Oklahoma, the daughter of a farmer and half-Indian mother. Active in the American Indian Movement for more than four decades, she is known for her lifelong commitment to national and international social justice issues.
Lakota Harden - orator, community organizer, activist, radio host and poet, daughter of seven generations of Lakota leaders - is currently a host on the weekly radio program Bay Native Circle on Pacifica radio station KPFA.
