DESCRIPTION:
|
Between 1846 and 1873, California?s Indian population plunged from approximately 150,000 to 30,000. UCLA Professor Benjamin Madley uncovers the full extent of the slaughter: the involvement of state and federal officials, the taxpayer dollars that supported the violence, indigenous resistance, who did the killing, and why the killings ended. Madley?s book is a comprehensive and chilling history of an American genocide.
Madley is Assistant Professor of History at UCLA.
