Description
The book 'And the Land Weeps' is a groundbreaking and critically acclaimed work about the indigenous peoples of America. Wilson combines traditional historical sources with new insights from ethnography, archaeology, Native American oral traditions, and years of original research, weaving a historical narrative that places the indigenous peoples of America at the center of their struggle for survival against the tide of invading European nations and cultures. 'And the Land Weeps' maps the encounters between Euro-Americans and the continent's indigenous peoples, from the first interactions in English settlements on the Atlantic coast, through centuries of gradual encroachment and open wars, to the new political power of today's Native American activists. The text is a powerful and moving account of the story of the indigenous peoples of America, which has set a new standard for future works in this field. The book was awarded the Myers Prize for Outstanding Publication in 2000.
