Ecological Imperialism on a Saturday afternoon: Today has been very successful on the used book front. This one has been skulking around my “to buy” list for a long time.

The Europeans made the oceans into highways, arrived in America with guns for conquest and with infectious diseases for decimating indigenous populations and opened up whole regions for immigrant settlement and exploitation, i.e., for making the New World into an enormous and varied adjunct to European societies and economies. -xviii

though this book isn’t perfect, I’d recommend it just because it does a great job of debunking several myths about the colonization of America. Crosby explains how and why European records don’t reflect the whole story (this seems obvious, but the narrative that ‘just a few million’ indigenous peoples of America were colonized solely via brute military strength, superior technology, and larger numbers has become engrained in the regional psyche so much so that it legitimates a lot of ongoing violence that needs to be addressed within its historical context—politics of remembering and memory are crucial!). By examining the roles that inane things like livestock, bacteria, and wind played, Crosby offers a much more nuanced understanding of America’s colonial history as well as the genocide of indigenous peoples on both sides of the Atlantic. For those of us studying the American genocide, this book has some key citations for supporting evidence that white academics have, by and large, chronically (and sometimes purposely) underestimated the number of indigenous Americans killed in the process of colonialism.
