DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM presents\n\nRoxanne Dunbar-Ortiz with Steve Wasserman: A 
 KPFA Zoom Event\n\nNot a Nation of Immigrants: Settler Colonialism, White 
 Supremacy, and a History of Erasure and Exclusion\n\n"Her thought-work and 
 writing are both full-force with courage and wisdom. In the age of telling 
 truth, she says, the US has yet to correct its narrative to acknowledge its 
 settler-colonialist and imperialist past and present. This book should be 
 taught in classrooms; readers will finish it changed."\n-Booklist, Starred 
 Review\n\n"Dunbar-Ortiz's message is clear: uplifting narratives about the 
 United States as a 'nation of immigrants' allow the country to hide from 
 its history of colonialism, genocide, slavery, and racism . . . . [T]his 
 thought-provoking account will prove insightful for all."\n-Library 
 Journal\n\nMany Americans will say proudly that we are a nation of 
 immigrants. In this bold new book, acclaimed historian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz 
 asserts that this self-congratulatory myth is harmful because it masks the 
 US's history of settler colonialism, genocide, white supremacy, slavery, 
 and structural inequality, all of which we still grapple with today. This 
 myth, she claims, is a convenient response by the ruling class to the 
 demands for decolonialization, reparations, and social justice. This 
 paradigm-shifting new work from the author of An Indigenous Peoples' 
 History of the United States insists that we need to stop perpetuating this 
 simplistic and inaccurate ideal and embrace the real history of the United 
 States. \n\nRoxanne Dunbar-Ortiz grew up in rural Oklahoma, the daughter of 
 a tenant farmer. Dunbar-Ortiz has been active in the international 
 Indigenous movement for more than four decades. She is the author of eight 
 books. \n\nSteve Wasserman is currently publisher of the award-winning 
 Heyday Books.\n\nSuggested Donation $5-$20.\n
