Produktbeschreibung
This book sheds light on the intricate history of Indigenous America's struggle for identity and sovereignty. Examining the utilization of a divide-and-conquer strategy through "federal recognition" in the United States, the book offers a profound analysis of the tactics employed by the U.S. government to subdue Indigenous peoples.
From the early days of American colonization, the U.S. sought to eliminate Indigenous competition for land, leading to a complex interplay of alliances and divisions within Indigenous communities. This book investigates the government's systematic efforts to redefine racial identity, ultimately erasing Indigenous people from official records.
The book calls for a reclamation of Indigenous America's narrative, emphasizing the importance of self-representation and unity. This compelling work challenges readers to confront the enduring consequences of historical injustices and rethink the concept of identity in a rapidly changing world.
