emotional informative sad slow-paced

4.0

The book is so well researched and informative, I would give it 5 ⭐. That being said, it's like reading a textbook . It's very dry. I listened to the audiobook and the narrator is monotone so that didn't enhance it in any way. Highly recommend.

5.0

If you grew up in the US or any other imperial power, this text is so important. There was so much within the book that I was fully unaware of. The author challenges myths and assumptions about the formation on the United States. My only complaint is that the book often makes large time jumps between 1776 and 1880ish, sometimes at lightning speed. This often threw me off- I wish many of the chapters had stuck to one topic or time period. Even with this (minor) criticism, I felt like the book made powerful arguments, was highly educational, and spoke the truth of as many indigenous peoples as possible. I am grateful to this author for writing this book, it is much needed.
