Spanning more than two hundred years\, An African American and Latinx History of the United States is a revolutionary\, politically charged narrative history arguing that the "Global South" was crucial to the development of America as we know it. Oritz challenges the notion of w estward progress\, as exalted by widely taught formulation such as "manife st destiny" and "Jacksonian democracy\," and shows how placing African Ame rican\, Latinx and Indigenous voices unapologetically front and center tra nsforms American history into the story of the working class organizing ag ainst imperialism.
