The "rediscovery" of America w/ Ned Blackhawk

US history is a contested academic discipline, especially for Native historians. Yale historian Ned Blackhawk (Western Shoshone) has been at the forefront of challenging US history's biggest myths in his latest book, and he pushes back on the consensus view of US history that either ignores or marginalizes Indigenous histories. In this interview, he talks about his latest book, The Rediscovery of America: Native Peoples and the Unmaking of U.S. History (2023).
