White Americans currently own over 95% of the farmland in the United States due to the misappropriation of tribal la nds and the exploitation of enslaved African labor. \;
\nJillian Hishaw's new book\, Systematic Land Theft: The History of U.S. Tactic s Keeping Tribal Nations From Reclaiming Their Land &\; Blacks Landless \, \;explores the history of European settlements in the Plains S tates as a replica for other U.S. regions and the present-day land loss of both Black and Tribal communities.
\nHishaw provides insight regard ing ethnic identification\, land valuation\, legislation\, and compensatio n for land loss. The book is a detailed synopsis of how stolen tribal land was used by White settlers and the federal government\, to leverage land as collateral to become economically superior over all demographic groups. Systematic Land Theft is a well-researched\, thought-provoking b ook that makes the reader think about the history of land tenure in the U. S. while utilizing case studies\, interviews with farmers\, legal\, and ec onomic analyses as proof. \;
