\nThe Rediscovery of America by Ned Blackhawk
\nThe most enduring feature of U.S. history is t he presence of Native Americans\, yet most histories focus on Europeans an d their descendants. This long practice of ignoring Indigenous history is changing\, however\, as a new generation of scholars insists that any full American history address the struggle\, survival\, and resurgence of Amer ican Indian nations. Indigenous history is essential to understanding the evolution of modern America.
\nNed Blac khawk interweaves five centuries of Native and non‑Native histories \, from Spanish colonial exploration to the rise of Native American self-d etermination in the late twentieth century. In this transformative synthes is he shows that
\nBlackhawk&rsquo\;s retelling of U.S. history acknowledges the enduring power\, agency\, and survival of Indigenous peoples\, yielding a truer account of the United States and revealing anew the varied meanings of America.
