"This book is not only a work of history, it makes history.... We desperately need to hear this story if we are to save the earth, the sky, the water, the air -- save ourselves.... I thank Donald Grinde and Bruce Johansen for their eloquent and powerful contribution to our education". (Howard Zinn) "A dense, hard-hitting well-documented work ... Ecocide of Native America offers a much needed option to European perspectives of history.... It is a valuable alternative textbook, if you can hold with its difficult truths". (New Mexican) The book includes the moving testimony of those who continue to experience the slow death of their lands, their means of subsistence, their communities, even as environmentalists look to Native American ecological precedents for solutions to our common global catastrophe. The environmental destruction of Indian lands is charted in a hard-hitting account tracing five hundred years of atrocities. From strip-mining and uranium mining to contamination of lands with toxic materials, this continues the ongoing saga of white exploitation of Indian communities, presenting a grim and revealing portrait of the politics involved on all sides. -- Midwest Book Review Used Book in Good Condition
