U.S. history through an Indigenous perspective

Paul Peart-Smith adapts Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz’s history into a full-color graphic account spanning four centuries. The book centers Indigenous peoples displaced by European expansion and their descendants, tracing their persistence amid policies the source describes as intended to erase them. Its historical frame foregrounds settler colonialism and genocide, bringing these subjects into a visual format with accessible text. As an adaptation, it offers a graphic entry point to Dunbar-Ortiz’s broader history rather than presenting itself as a separate survey of U.S. history.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in U.S. history told from Indigenous perspectives
  • Readers exploring settler colonialism, displacement, and Indigenous persistence
  • Readers who prefer historical nonfiction in graphic format

Book overview

WINNER OF 2025 OKLAHOMA BOOK AWARD IN BEST ILLUSTRATION

In stunning full color and accessible text, a graphic adaptation of the American Book Award winning history of the United States as told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples--perfect for readers of all ages

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz's influential New York Times bestseller exposed the brutality of this nation's founding and its legacy of settler-colonialism and genocide. Through evocative full color artwork, renowned cartoonist Paul Peart-Smith brings this watershed book to life, centering the perspective of the peoples displaced by Europeans and their white descendants to trace Indigenous perseverance over four centuries against policies intended to obliterate them.

Recognized for his adaptation of W.E.B. DuBois' The Souls of Black Folk and his extensive expertise in the comics industry, Peart-Smith collaborates with experienced graphic novel editor Paul Buhle to provide an accessible introduction to a complex history that will attract new generations of readers of all ages. This striking graphic adaptation will rekindle crucial conversations about the centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regime that has largely been omitted from history.
