Empire's Tracks boldly reframes the history of the transcontinental
railroad from the perspectives of the Cheyenne, Lakota, and Pawnee
Native American tribes, and the Chinese migrants who toiled on its
path. In this meticulously researched book, Manu Karuka situates
the railroad within the violent global histories of colonialism and
capitalism. Through an examination of legislative, military, and
business records, Karuka deftly explains the imperial foundations
of U.S. political economy. Tracing the shared paths of Indigenous
and Asian American histories, this multisited interdisciplinary
study connects military occupation to exclusionary border policies,
a linked chain spanning the heart of U.S. imperialism. This highly
original and beautifully wrought book unveils how the
transcontinental railroad laid the tracks of the U.S. Empire.
