The Earth Shall Weep: A History of Native America by James Wilson

5.0

Really incredible research. The book breaks down the interactions between Europeans and North Americans natives by location. Where most public school education downplays the atrocities of European settlement, Wilson gives a depth to the amount of suffering while refusing to conflate the different communities already present on the continent. The telling is unsentimental and frank, but the content is heartbreaking. Everyone who lives in the United States needs to read this book. Know your history.
