Whether in political debates or discussions about immigration around the kitchen table, many Americans, regardless of party affiliation, will say proudly that we are a nation of immigrants. In this bold new book, historian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz asserts this ideology is harmful and dishonest because it serves to mask and diminish the US’s history of settler colonialism, genocide, white supremacy, slavery, and structural inequality, all of which we still grapple with today.

Keep an open mind. Value education. Respect history from all perspectives, and that is based on evidence. Learn something new. Take a good hard look at the narratives we like to tell ourselves to bolster structures of power that benefit colonizing systems of dominance and oppression. Change is possible and necessary, and we can make it happen.

Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military.

Well researched, necessary, and hopeful.

We cannot create a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive society without having the courage to take an honest look at the real atrocities of settler colonialism, systemic oppressions, and the purposeful attempts to eradicate indigenous cultures. Read this well documented accounting of history with an open mind, a compassionate heart, and a kindness that seeks to fully listen to and truly understand less familiar (and perhaps more personally comforting or preferred) perspectives. We are each responsible for the society we live in now, even though we may not be to blame for those who created these conditions. Denying the fuller, more complex, and darker history (and current problematic realities) of the United States serves no one. This may not be a history we “like,” but it is the history we need.
