Indian, Black and Irish : indigenous nations, African peoples, European invasions, 1492-1790 / by Fenelon, James V.,author.(CARDINAL)888065;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 260-277) and index."This book traces 500 years of European-American colonization and racialized dominance, expanding our common assumptions about the ways racialization was used to build capitalism and the modern world-system. Professor Fenelon draws on personal experience and the agency of understudied Native (and African) resistance leaders, to weave a story too often hidden or distorted in the annals of the academy, that remains invisible at many universities and historical societies. The book identifies three epochs of racial constructions, colonialism, and capitalism that created the USA. Indigenous nations, the first to be racialized on a global scale, African peoples, enslaved and brought to the Americas, and European immigrants. It offers a sweeping analysis of the forces driving the invasion, occupation, and exploitation of Native America and the significance of labor in American history provided by Indigenous people, Africans, and immigrants, specifically the Irish. Indian, Black and Irish makes major contributions toward a deeper understanding of where Supremacy and Sovereignty originated from, and how our modern world has used these socio-political constructions, to build global hegemony that now threatens our very existence, through wars and climate change." --James V. Fenelon is Professor and Director of Center for Indigenous Peoples Studies, California State University, San Bernardino. Currently he is also the Lang Visiting Professor for Social Change at Swarthmore College. His books include Redskins? Sports Mascots, Indian Nations, and White Racism; Culturicide, Resistance and Survival of the Lakota; and Indigenous Peoples and Globalization (with Thomas Hall).
