American history and self-understanding have long depended on the
notion of a "colonial America", an era that-according to prevailing
accounts-laid the foundation for the modern United States. In
Indigenous Continent, the acclaimed historian Pekka Hamalainen
shatters this Eurocentric narrative by retelling the four centuries
between first contacts and the peak of Native power from Indigenous
points of view. Shifting our perspective away from Jamestown,
Plymouth, the American Revolution and other well-worn episodes on
the conventional timeline, Hamalainen depicts a sovereign world of
distinctive Native nations whose members, far from simple victims
of colonial aggression, controlled the continent well into the
nineteenth century, fundamentally shaping the actions of the
European imperialists and the development of the United States.
Indigenous Continent restores Native Americans to their rightful
place at the very fulcrum of American history.
