An alternative and unorthodox view of the colonization of the
Americas by Europeans is offered in this concise history.
Eurocentric studies of the conquest of the Americas present
colonization as a civilizing force for good, and the native
populations as primitive or worse. Colonization is seen as a
mutually beneficial process, in which "civilization" was brought to
the natives who in return shared their land and cultures. The
opposing historical camp views colonization as a form of genocide
in which the native populations were passive victims overwhelmed by
European military power. In this fresh examination, an activist and
historian of native descent argues that the colonial powers met
resistance from the indigenous inhabitants and that these
confrontations shaped the forms and extent of colonialism. This
account encompasses North and South America, the development of
nation-states, and the resurgence of indigenous resistance in the
post-World War II era.
