Resumen del Editor

The most enduring feature of US history is the presence of Native Americans, yet most histories focus on Europeans and their descendants. This long practice of ignoring Indigenous history is changing, however, with a new generation of scholars insists that any full American history address the struggle, survival, and resurgence of American Indian nations. Indigenous history is essential to understanding the evolution of modern America.

Ned Blackhawk interweaves five centuries of Native and non-Native histories, from Spanish colonial exploration to the rise of Native American self-determination in the late twentieth century. In this transformative synthesis he shows that: European colonization in the 1600s was never a predetermined success; Native nations helped shape England's crisis of empire; the first shots of the American Revolution were prompted by Indian affairs in the interior; California Indians targeted by federally funded militias were among the first casualties of the Civil War; the Union victory forever recalibrated Native communities across the West; and twentieth-century reservation activists refashioned American law and policy. Blackhawk's retelling of US history acknowledges the enduring power, agency, and survival of Indigenous peoples, yielding a truer account of the United States and revealing anew the varied meanings of America.

How much I did not know and the lapses in my education.

I think this is a necessary read for everyone. Indian rights need to be fought for

Excellent

I liked everything, the book itself, the narrator, the beginning, the middle and the ending.

The white man will always and forever attempt to rule the world imo

Interesting book marred by poor reading

This book is an interesting overview of the history of native and non-native interaction in the U.S. from 1492 to the present. For example it explains how early enslavement of indigenous peoples by European settlers established a pattern that paved the way for the slave trade in the U.S., and how native alliances with the British became one of the provoking causes of the American revolution. The book documents the shifting attitudes of the government towards Indian tribes, and the uncertainties surrounding their legal status under the Constitution and how it has evolved over time.

Unfortunately, the narrator of this book has a manner of delivery that is disconcerting and that undermines the narrative flow of the story. The narrator routinely emphasizes the wrong word in a phrase, and pauses within a sentence or between sentences, in ways that are distracting and make the book hard to follow.

A brilliant integration of tribal histories into American history

What a powerful reframing of American history! Well written and well read. Provocative and comprehensive.

The attention and detail to primary historical sources was exemplary.

The book gave a complete explanation for all that American Natives were forced to endure. Yet they survived and are starting to thrive again. I doubt the white man, if similarly subjugated, could cope half as well, without its privilege.

Probably best used as a textbook

It’s loaded with factual information that most Americans have never learned.
No doubt that it would serve well as a textbook in a University level course.

That being said, the narrator is mechanical and non inspiring. It’s a dry listen. Not something that compels the listener to continue

I’ve read better

This book is ok, but it’s reads like a collection of term papers from an American Indian Studies class where no two students could write on the same subject. There’s good information, but it’s a labor to get through.

Terrible reading/production

The reader sounds like a robot and the production of the audio book sounds pieced together, as if every third sentence was re-recorded. It’s incredibly distracting from what is otherwise a fascinating book. I switched to reading it in print.

Boring and dry

See title. Don’t buy the Audible version. The narrator is more computer than real life person.
