American Indians remain familiar as icons, yet poorly understood as historical agents. In this ambitious book that ranges across Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, and eastern California (a region known as the Great Basin), Ned Blackhawk places Native peoples squarely at the center of a dynamic and complex story as he chronicles two centuries of Indian and imperial history that profoundly shaped the American West. On the distant margins of empire, Great Basin Indians increasingly found themselves engulfed in the chaotic storms of European expansion and responded in ways that refashioned themselves and those around them. Focusing on Ute, Paiute, and Shoshone Indians, Blackhawk illuminates this history through a lens of violence, excavating the myriad impacts of colonial expansion. Brutal networks of trade and slavery forged the Spanish borderlands, and the use of violence became for many Indians a necessary survival strategy, particularly after Mexican Independence when many became raiders and slave traffickers. Throughout such violent processes, these Native communities struggled to adapt to their changing environments, sometimes scoring remarkable political ends while suffering immense reprisals. Violence over the Land is a passionate reminder of the high costs that the making of American history occasioned for many indigenous peoples.

Product description

About the Author

Ned Blackhawk (Western Shoshone) is the Howard R. Lamar Professor of History and American Studies at Yale University, where he is the faculty coordinator for the Yale Group for the Study of Native America. He is the author of Violence over the Land: Indians and Empires in the Early American West. He lives in New Haven, Connecticut.

Curtis Michael Holland has craved performing and sharing what he knows ever since he first experienced the adrenaline rush of a connected audience. With a mixed background that is Canadian-Greek, African, and Indigenous (Blackfoot and Cherokee), you could say that he emerges from a rich mosaic of storytellers. Then, there's the fact that he has lived across three different continents-four, if you count the Middle East as its own. Nevertheless, the world is his home and he loves exploring new corners of it. Along this journey, he has developed basic proficiency yet refined pronunciation in: Mandarin Chinese, Arabic, French, and Italian. Curtis's worldly adventure began once he left his home in small-town Canada to teach students theater around the world as soon as he earned his honors degrees. This member of the BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities is proud to share his spirited, textured, and entertaining voice. On one hand he loves bringing authenticity to queer romances and young adult fiction; on the other, he enjoys flirting with stories of horror, thrills, and high tension. Whatever the tale may be, it is his ultimate goal to educate and entertain.

A must read for all Americans
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2022

Ned Blackhawk has systematically exposed the overlooked emotional reality of the central force that defined the collective interaction between the European and then American white society from 1492 onwards.

Genocide is a cold clinical word but Blackhawk brings it down to the most basic human levels that poignantly confronts Mark Twain's ghastly but honest reaction to the remnants of a brutal decades long debasement of a people overwhelmed by ceaseless exploitation and near extermination.

Blackhawk sets the baseline for further honest and needed discussion of how the West was really won. I applaud his courage and insight.

Ute and Shoshone focus in this book
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2013
Verified Purchase
This book examines the relationship between the Spanish in New Mexico and the Ute Indians, interlaced with the thread of violence and slavery and how that permeated through the Ute to the non-equestrian Shoshone of the Great Basin. The author also examines the ecological impact on the Great Basin of the great fur trading combines of the 18th century and the tensions between Mormon settlers in Utah and the indigenous people who resided there.

The introduction of European technology ( the horse, metalwork, etc.) along with the Spanish endorsement of slavery through the principle of rescate ( or rescue for religious purpose) and the outright avarice of Spanish administrators in slave raids for resale purposes, changed the social context of not only Spanish New Mexico but also the Great Basin and the southern plains. While violence and slavery were not unknown to the area before the Spanish entrada, both were incorporated into cycles of war and peace often driven by ecological hard times. The Spanish introduced both as economic concepts of empire building and radically changed the social context of the pre-contact American southwest.

Great Read for a History Book
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2013
Verified Purchase
Ned Blackhawk did a fantastic job researching all kinds of sources and documents that he presented in this book. The book is a tad on the sterile side, but I feel that was a better option than having it read with too much passion. Even with the sterility of the facts, it was all presented clearly enough to get the true history that we all too often are either unaware of or forget about. Highly recommended read for anyone wanting to know more about the early history of North America.
