The first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoples moment in the United States, there are further than five hundred federally honored Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen million Native people who formerly inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler- colonizer authority has largely been neglected from history. Now, for the first time, accredited annalist and activist Roxanne Dunbar- Ortizoffers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, laboriously defied expansion of the US conglomerate. With growing support for movements similar as the crusade to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples ' Day and the Dakota Access Pipeline kick led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, An Indigenous Peoples ' History of the United States is an essential resource furnishing literal vestments that are pivotal for understanding the present. In An Indigenous Peoples ' History of the United States, Dunbar- Ortiz expertly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the homes of the original occupants, displacing or barring them. And as Dunbar- Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through pens like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the loftiest services of government and the service. Surprisingly, as the genocidal policy reached its meridian under President Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was stylish articulated by US Army general ThomasS. Jesup, who, in 1836, wrote of the Seminoles " The country can be relieve of them only by exterminating them. " Gauging further than four hundred times, this classic bottom- up peoples ' history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have visited our public narrative.

A longtime professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of California at Berkeley, Ronald Takaki was recognized as one of the foremost scholars of American ethnic history and diversity. When the first edition of A Different Mirror was published in 1993, Publishers Weekly called it "a brilliant revisionist history of America that is likely to become a classic of multicultural studies" and named it one of the ten best books of the year. Now Rebecca Stefoff, who adapted Howard Zinn's best-selling A People's History of the United States for younger readers, turns the updated 2008 edition of Takaki's multicultural masterwork into A Different Mirror for Young People. Drawing on Takaki's vast array of primary sources, and staying true to his own words whenever possible, A Different Mirror for Young People brings ethnic history alive through the words of people, including teenagers, who recorded their experiences in letters, diaries, and poems. Like Zinn's A People's History, Takaki's A Different Mirror offers a rich and rewarding "people's view" perspective on the American story.
