Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"In this ambitious, comparative history of Indigenous people and African Americans in Detroit, Mays draws on cultural, intellectual, and social history, selectively tracing how this history of dispossession was central to Detroit’s development. His goal is to recover the erased histories of both groups and to link that erasure to settler colonialism and racial capitalism...This important study effectively illustrates the processes by which Native Americans and Black Americans were removed from history and stereotyped alongside their efforts to challenge dispossessions." * Choice *
