Synopsis

This landmark history uncovers the hidden story of Indian enslavement across America, from the conquistadors to the early 20th century. Despite being illegal, this practice was an open secret for centuries, decimating native populations more than epidemics. Drawing on new evidence, the book reveals how this European business evolved into an indigenous operation, spreading across the American Southwest. It presents a crucial, overlooked piece of American history, urging a confrontation with an equally devastating enslavement that has long been ignored.
