The Library Channel is proud to present a lecture from the first installment of a new ASU Indigenous speaker series, the Simon Ortiz and Labriola Center Lecture on Indigenous Land, Culture, and Community, featuring Dr. Ned Blackhawk talking about his new book Violence over the Land: Indians and Empires in the Early American West published by Harvard University Press.
Winner of the 2007 Frederick Jackson Turner Award and the 2006 William P. Clements Prize for the Best Non-Fiction Book on Southwestern America, Violence Over the Land begins with the premise that too many histories written about the United States downplay the violence perpetrated by its citizens on native peoples. (Harvard University Press)
Dr. Blackhawk teaches in the History and American Indian Studies Departments at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. His areas of specialization and teaching interest include North American Indian history, culture, and identity from U.S. colonial to the 21st century; race and multiculturalism; comparative colonialisms; borderlands studies; and race and violence.
The series is sponsored by the ASU American Indian Studies Program, ASU Department of English, ASU American Indian Policy Institute, ASU Labriola Center, and the Heard Museum.
