10/10 no notes. A super insightful book about the horrors of the founding of the white supremacist, fiscal-military settler-colonialist United States and its continued subjugation of Indigenous, Black and Brown people the world over. A timely read despite being published in 2021 that helps dispel egregious myths that hold back accountability of the crimes committed by various racist groups and politicians against Black people within ths USA, and this country's countless wars against Indigenous nations, Mexico, Asia, and Cental America and how all that ties to the deeply hateful anti-migrant rhetoric that gave us a Trump second term. I learned so much and even when I already knew some other stuff it still added even more horrific context. I will definitely try to reread bc it's a lot of centuries of harm and trauma to keep track of but definitely a well-researched and exhaustive book. This book should be a mandatory anticolonial and anti-settler starter read for everyone in the USA, honestly.
