The Rediscovery of America: Native Peoples and the Unmaking of U.S. History
de Ned Blackhawk
Pourquoi le lire
This groundbreaking, award-winning history reframes the standard narrative of the United States by placing Indigenous nations at the absolute center of colonial expansion, the American Revolution, the Civil War, and modern legal policy. Rather than portraying Native peoples merely as victims on the periphery, it illuminates five centuries of complex diplomacy, resistance, and enduring cultural survival.
Où le trouver
For audio listeners, the unabridged English audiobook is narrated by Jason Grasl and is widely available on Storytel, Audible, Kobo, and Libro.fm, or via the Libby app if your local Dutch library network (such as the OBA) or partner library offers English digital lending. Print copies and ebooks can be ordered or borrowed through the online Bibliotheek catalog, Bol.com, Amazon.nl, and international bookshops across the Netherlands such as American Book Center, Waterstones Amsterdam, and Athenaeum Boekhandel.
À quoi s'attendre
The tone is rigorous, scholarly, and analytical yet thoroughly compelling. The pacing is deliberate and panoramic, covering five hundred years of history across multiple regions. It is an intellectually demanding read that requires focused attention, featuring recurring discussions of colonial violence, military campaigns, dispossession, and systemic oppression.
