Booklist Review
Dunbar-Ortiz, Native American studies scholar and longtime American Indian Movement member, offers a radical rewrite of traditional U.S. history up to and including the five wars waged since WWII, a history, she explains, based on settler colonialism, or the founding of a state based on the ideology of white supremacy, the widespread practice of African slavery, and a policy of genocide and land theft. As part of the long-established Columbus myth, colonial settlers saw themselves as part of a worldwide system of colonization, while, simultaneously, land in this country went from being sacred as it was for the indigenous to being a commodity to be bought and sold. Dunbar-Ortiz doesn't end her litany of violence against the indigenous as part of this land grab with the Sand Creek Massacre or Wounded Knee, as do some postmodern surveys of U.S. history. Instead, she argues that the same strategies employed with the indigenous peoples on this continent were mirrored abroad in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq in 1991, Afghanistan, and Iraq again in 2003. Meticulously documented, this thought-provoking treatise is sure to generate discussion.--Donovan, Deborah Copyright 2014 Booklist
Publisher's Weekly Review
American Indian activist and scholar Dunbar-Ortiz (The Great Sioux Nation) launches a full-bore attack on what she perceives as the glaring gaps in U.S. history about the continent's native peoples. Professional historians have increasingly been teaching much of what Dunbar-Ortiz writes about, yet given what she argues is the vast ignorance of the Indigenous experience, there still remains a knowledge deficit that needs to be rectified. She describes the U.S. as "a colonialist settler state, one that, like the colonialist European states, crushed and subjugated the original civilizations in the territories it now rules." The conventional national narrative, she writes, is a myth that's "wrong or deficient, not in its facts, dates, or details but rather in its essence." What is fresh about the book is its comprehensiveness. Dunbar-Ortiz brings together every indictment of white Americans that has been cast upon them over time, and she does so by raising intelligent new questions about many of the current trends of academia, such as multiculturalism. Dunbar-Ortiz's material succeeds, but will be eye-opening to those who have not previously encountered such a perspective. (Sept.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
Library Journal Review
Dunbar-Ortiz (Outlaw Woman) undertakes the immense task of reframing the history of the United States in the context of "-settler-colonialism." Despite prevailing myths about Native peoples, Dunbar--Ortiz provides example after example of how flourishing, rich cultures and societies were systematically destroyed through forced re-education, massacre, occupation, relocation, and total disregard for diplomatic treaties. After building her case for the genocide of Native peoples by settlers, she draws distinctions between foreign policy in the 19th and 20th centuries to today's ongoing conflicts, painting a clear picture of the United States' myopic vision for itself. While initially narrator Laural Merlington sounds a bit dry and detached, further listening reveals her subtleties in tone and rhythm. VERDICT Though devastating at times, this work is well worth the investment of time and emotional energy. Be prepared for the inevitable change in perspective that accompanies hearing these stories.-Jeremy Bright, Georgia State Univ. Lib., Atlanta © Copyright 2015.
