“The Rediscovery of America” is definitely not a light undertaking for readers, and that is exactly as it should be. Ned Blackhawk after all is crafting a new US historical narrative - one that works to fit Native Americans into the large, complex but often heavily overlooked roles they’ve been playing all throughout the nation’s history, from the country’s settler origins almost all the way up to the present. Given the subject matter, this work is as thorough and detailed as one could hope for more, and then some. It’s definitely a work that I’d like to have not only in my academic library, but would love to see in higher level history classes.
