Purchase options and add-ons

This demographic overview of North American Indian history describes in detail the holocaust that, even today, white Americans tend to dismiss as an unfortunate concomitant of Manifest Destiny. They wish to forget that, as Euro-Americans invaded North America and prospered in the "New World," the numbers of native peoples declined sharply; entire tribes, often in the space of a few years, were "wiped from the face of the earth."

 

The fires of the holocaust that consumed American Indians blazed in the fevers of newly encountered diseases, the flash of settlers’ and soldiers’ guns, the ravages of "firewater," and the scorched-earth policies of the white invaders. Russell Thornton describes how the holocaust had as its causes disease, warfare and genocide, removal and relocation, and destruction of aboriginal ways of life.

 

Until recently most scholars seemed reluctant to speculate about North American Indian populations in 1492. In this book Thornton discusses in detail how many Indians there were, where they had come from, and how modern scholarship in many disciplines may enable us to make more accurate estimates of aboriginal populations.

    Conoscere meglio la storia del mondo, in questo caso in modo dettagliato dal 1492, ci fa vedere in un ottica più obiettiva la "conquista" dell'america, l'epopea del west. Tutto ciò trattato con dati oggettivi. Colombo fu un eroe o qualcosa di diverso? Perchè la decimazione degli American Indians è stata considerata un male necessario? E con che mezzi ? Perchè il loro non deve essere considerato un olocausto? Come mai dopo il loro olocausto, a differenza di altri, gli abitanti originari dell'america sono praticamente scomparsi o ridotti alla povertà? Personalmente trovo utile il confrontare questo olocausto con altri olocausti. E se noi europei avessimo commessi errori che non vogliamo considerare tali? Siamo noi europei i veri civilizzatori? Che funzione hanno avuto le mssioni nelle terre del west? Questi ed altri interrogativi sono trattati in questo interssante testo.
