An Afro-Indigenous History of the United States - (Revisioning History) by Kyle T Mays (Hardcover)

The Afro-Indigenous History of the US is a groundbreaking book that explores the interconnected struggles for freedom and sovereignty of Black Americans and Native Americans in the United States.

Written by an Afro-Indigenous scholar, this book provides a fresh perspective on American history, revealing uncomfortable truths about the dehumanizing legacies of both capitalism and colonialism while forging a path of reconciliation between the two communities. The book covers the civil rights movement and freedom struggles of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as current debates around cultural appropriation and the use of Native American imagery.

Through a wide array of historical activists, pop culture icons, sacred texts, and foundational texts like the Declaration of Independence and Democracy in America, Mays shows how the fervor of Black and Indigenous peoples has consistently sought to uproot white supremacy. With an 8-page photo insert featuring notable figures such as Kwame Ture, Angela Davis, Nelson Mandela, and more, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex history of race and oppression in America.

Whether you're a student, historian, or simply someone looking to broaden your perspective, The Afro-Indigenous History of the US is an essential addition to your library.
