217K0

The 2023 National Book Award-winning work, the true history of American struggle, historian Ned Blackhawk deconstructs the contradictions and redemption of the rise of the United States. In American history, Native Americans are often ignored by historians. They are either obstacles that white people need to overcome, or they are excluded from the history of the United States from its independence to becoming a powerful nation. Even the most enduring Indians in American history have not many stories to tell. However, this long-standing neglect of Native American history is changing in recent years, with many new generations of scholars insisting that any complete U. S. History should not erase the efforts of Native Americans, especially Indian nations, to survive and revitalize. The well-known American historian Ned Blackhawk interweaves the history of the conquistadors and indigenous peoples in the Americas over five centuries, from Spanish colonial exploration to the rise of Native American self-determination at the end of the 20th century. He shows the glorious deeds of Native Americans and puts forward a series of thought-provoking perspectives.
