Stealing America

In "Stealing America," historian Linford Fisher reveals the often-overlooked history of Indigenous enslavement in the Americas, which began soon after 1492 and involved millions of Native people. With rigorous research and compelling prose, Fisher highlights the parallels between the enslavement of Native Americans and the African slave trade, illustrating how colonizers systematically captured and misidentified Natives to evade detection. The narrative stretches across the continent, exposing the dual injustices of land dispossession and forced labor that shaped early American history. This comprehensive work not only recounts a tragic legacy of colonialism but also celebrates the resilience of Native communities in their ongoing struggle for sovereignty.
