An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States
by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz
"This is an important book—important for truth, important for justice, important for opening new dialogues, and important for addressing the continuing colonial domination of indigenous nations within the borders of the United States." --The Cherokee One Feather
With over a quarter-million copies sold and featured in Raoul Peck's HBO documentary Exterminate All the Brutes, this revolutionary work by acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz has reframed the conversation about the history of Indigenous peoples.
In spanning over 400 years, she examines US counterinsurgent war-making and the genocidal effects of the US settler-colonial regime while illuminating Native nations' resistance, which secured their survival and continues today.
Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz grew up in rural Oklahoma in a tenant farming family. She has been active in the international Indigenous movement for more than four decades and is known for her lifelong commitment to national and international social justice issues. She is the winner of the 2017 Lannan Cultural Freedom Prize and the author of many books, including the American Book Award-winning Not “A Nation of Immigrants.” She lives in San Francisco.
