The Other Slavery: The Uncovered Story Of Indian Enslavement In America

"The history of the enslavement of people from North America and the Caribbean is deliberately murky; those who practiced it often did so in places where slavery was technically illegal and went to some trouble to invent legal loopholes for it. Andrés Reséndez keeps a deliberate, scholarly distance from the material, bringing forth evidence and constructing careful — even conservative — arguments. But that evidence speaks for itself, and the horrors quietly pile up. In a country that still denies a Native American genocide ever took place, The Other Slavery is a necessary work."
