Description: 500 Years of Indigenous Resistance by Gord Hill Offers an alternative and unorthodox view of the colonisation of the Americas by Europeans. This title argues that the colonial powers met resistance from the indigenous inhabitants and that these confrontations shaped the forms and extent of colonialism. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The history of the colonization of the Americas by Europeans is often portrayed as a mutually beneficial process, in which "civilization" was brought to the Natives, who in return shared their land and cultures. A more critical history might present it as a genocide in which Indigenous peoples were helpless victims, overwhelmed and awed by European military power. In reality, neither of these views is correct. 500 Years of Indigenous Resistance is more than a history of European colonization of the Americas. In this slim volume, Gord Hill chronicles the resistance by Indigenous peoples, which limited and shaped the forms and extent of colonialism. This history encompasses North and South America, the development of nation-states, and the resurgence of Indigenous resistance in the post-WW2 era. Author Biography Gord Hill is a member of the Kwakwakawakw nation. He is a writer, an artist, and a militant activist. He has been active in the Indigenous resistance, anticolonial, and anticapitalist movements--often using the pseudonym Zig Zag. He lives in Vancouver, British Columbia. Review It would be an amazing thing to make copies of this work and slip into every school in America and slide it into every history book for children to read. Well, it is no less crucial and eye-opening a book for existing simply on its own. --Feminist Review Review Quote "It would be an amazing thing to make copies of this work and slip into every school in America and slide it into every history book for children to read.
