About This Item
New York. 2000. Grove Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0802116663. 432 pages. hardcover. . keywords: Imperialism History Indigenous People Genocide. FROM THE PUBLISHER - The past five centuries have witnessed a shocking series of confrontations between European nations and millions of indigenous peoples, and these cultural encounters still resonate strongly to this day. Rivers of Blood, Rivers of Gold is an essential book for understanding the true impact of imperialism. Beautifully and passionately written, it provides a judicious and exhaustively researched indictment of European exploitation. Focusing on four collisions between Europeans and indigenous cultures - the conquest of Mexico, the British onslaught on the Tasmanian Aborigines, the uprooting of the Apaches, and the German campaign against the tribes of Southwest Africa - Mark Cocker illuminates the fundamental experiences that underlay the colonial experience around the globe. Beyond making a persuasive - and balanced - case against colonialism, Cocker also sustains a riveting, often harrowing story. Rivers of Blood, Rivers of Gold is narrative history in its most impressive form - engaging, accessible, and thought provoking. inventory #27843 ISBN: 0802116663.
