Excellent resource! I was disappointed the author didn’t give Pocahontas’ real name (it was Amonute, or Matoaka), and didn’t mention anything about how she was a minor when taken and basically a victim of child trafficking, rape, and forced  marriage

Good. A good introduction to the major events of colonization and colonization resistance in the Americas. I was a bit more excited at the beginning because I could see how it wasn’t just telling the colonizer story. For example, it is pretty cool how hard the book goes on Colombus and how much he sucked. However, as I went on, I thought that the book could have been harder on the colonizers and added some more explanations that would help readers understand the atrocities taking place. I think sometimes because there wasn’t space to go into the details, an uncritical mind could interpret the indigenous resistance as too violent (and perhaps start to sympathize with the colonizers). Also some spots got really specific with how many people died and how many were wounded. With such little word count available, were the numbers of deaths the most important part? If so, then I think having little statements here and there about why the number of deaths is important to know would be good.
