DESCRIPTION:Many Americans, regardless of party affiliation, whether in political 
 debates or discussions about immigration, proudly state that we are a 
 nation of immigrants. In this bold new book, historian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz 
 asserts this ideology is harmful and dishonest because it serves to mask 
 and diminish the US’s history of genocide, white supremacy, slavery, and 
 structural inequality, all of which we still grapple with today.\n\nWhile 
 some of us are immigrants or descendants of immigrants, others are 
 descendants of those who were here since time immemorial and others are 
 descendants of those who were kidnapped and forced here against their will. 
  This acclaimed author suggests that we need to stop believing and 
 perpetuating this simplistic and a historical idea and urges readers to 
 embrace a more complex and honest history of the United States.  
 \n\nRoxanne Dunbar-Ortiz grew up in rural Oklahoma in a tenant farming 
 family. She has been active in the international Indigenous movement for 
 more than 4 decades and is known for her lifelong commitment to national 
 and international social justice issues. Dunbar-Ortiz is the winner of the 
 2017 Lannan Cultural Freedom Prize, and is the author or editor of many 
 books, including An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, a 
 recipient of the 2015 American Book Award. She lives in San Francisco.  Not 
 A Nation of Immigrants is scheduled to be released in August 2021 by Beacon 
 Press.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2021/02/24/18840266.php
