    989 Words  | 2 Pages

    This book is complete with some facts, unfounded assumptions, explores Native American gifts to the World and gives that information credence which really happened yet was covered up and even lied about by Euro-centric historians who have never given the Indians credit for any great cultural achievement. From silver and money capitalism to piracy, slavery and the birth of corporations, the food revolution, agricultural technology, the culinary revolution, drugs, architecture and urban planning our debt to the indigenous peoples of America is tremendous. With indigenous populations mining the gold and silver made capitalism possible. Working in the mines and mints and in the plantations with the African slaves, they started the industrial revolution that then spread to Europe and on around the world. They supplied the cotton, rubber, dyes, and related chemicals that fed this new system of production. They domesticated and developed the hundreds of varieties of corn, potatoes, cassava, and peanuts that now feed much of the world. They discovered the curative powers of quinine, the anesthetizing ability of coca, and the potency of a thousand other drugs with made possible modern medicine and pharmacology. The drugs together with their improved agriculture made possible the population explosion of the last several centuries. They developed and refined a form of democracy that has been haphazardly and inadequately adopted in many parts of the world. They were the true colonizers of America who cut the trails through the jungles and deserts, made the roads, and built the cities upon which modern America is based.

  • Summary By Andres Resendez

    956 Words  | 2 Pages

    When the world takes about slavery in the New World, the immediate thought is the capture and sale of African slaves who were then transported to North America. This is not the case, since the time of Columbus, Indian slavery was illegal in much of the American continent. Although it was illegal the practice was used as an open secret. With this book I feel that Andres Resendez keeps a deliberate intellectual distance, brings evidence and constructing careful arguments on the subject. With all this material the we can see the horrors and cruelty of the enslavement of Native Americans from North America and the Caribbean broke down entire nations. This enslavement erased cultural and political ecosystems.

  • A Different Mirror Ronald Takaki Summary

    468 Words  | 1 Pages

    Broad literature is suggestive of inhumane treatment with Native Americans and African America Slaves. In general, much of the emphasis seemed to be white dominance over other ethnicities. However, as we saw in Zinn’s “History”, this was not always the situation. In 1741 there were thousands of indentured servants, both white and black in New York City. These were not slaves and they had a right to bear arms. This belied the slave issue for all blacks. Takaki gives us a new perspective in his article, “A Different Mirror: A Conversation with Ronald Takaki". He makes a point of challenging the traditional school narrative that our country was founded by Americans of European ancestry. He advocates a multicultural approach. Virginians first brought in indentured servants from England and Ireland---a white laboring

    Forced labor has been a worldwide problem for thousands of years. Millions of marginalized human beings have been kidnapped, taken away from their families, and forced against their will to work for people of higher power. In the 15th century, as Europeans were starting to settle in the Americas, the demand for cheap and efficient labor increased. The native americans that were already providing labor at the time were very susceptible to the diseases the Europeans were bringing over, and they weren't very efficient in farming. This led the Europeans to invade Africa, and kidnap Africans because they were immune to more diseases, and they were more proficient in the agricultural field. These Africans were ripped from their families, thrusted
