\nThe Rediscovery of America by Ned Blackhawk
\nThe most enduring feature of U.S. history is the presence of Native Americans\, yet most histories focus on Europeans a nd their descendants. This long practice of ignoring Indigenous history is changing\, however\, as a new generation of scholars insists that any ful l American history address the struggle\, survival\, and resurgence of Ame rican Indian nations. Indigenous history is essential to understanding the evolution of modern America.
\nNed Bla ckhawk interweaves five centuries of Native and non‑Native historie s\, from Spanish colonial exploration to the rise of Native American self- determination in the late twentieth century. In this transformative synthe sis he shows that
\nBlackhawk&rsquo\;s retelling of U.S. history acknowledges th e enduring power\, agency\, and survival of Indigenous peoples\, yielding a truer account of the United States and revealing anew the varied meaning s of America.
