Ned Blackhawk’s book “The Rediscovery of America” seeks to redefine our understanding of native history.
History professor Ned Blackhawk’s forthcoming book “The Rediscovery of America: Native Peoples and the Unmaking of US History” landed on the Washington Post’s 2023 reading list at the start of this year.
The book, which is slated to be released on April 25, conducts a sweeping reexamination of Indigenous history across five centuries, drawing attention to the ways in which native groups formatively influenced modern-day America. Blackhawk’s comprehensive literature review places Indigenous peoples at the center of the nation’s historical understanding.
“This book is, in many ways, something that I’ve been thinking about [and] living with for quite some time,” Blackhawk told the News.
