Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz's Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States, an influential New York Times bestseller, exposed the brutality of this nation's founding and its legacy of settler-colonialism and genocide. Through evocative full-colour 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.

Recognised 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 programme of the US settler-colonial regime that has largely been omitted from history.
