32. Red Nation Rising
From Bordertown Violence to Native Liberation
Red Nation Rising: From Bordertown Violence to Native Liberation is a groundbreaking book by Nick Estes, Melanie Yazzie, Jennifer Nez Denetdale, and David Correia. This publication delves into the dark reality of bordertowns, white-dominated settlements located along the borders of Native American reservations, serving as a potent symbol of colonial violence and suppression. These towns exist primarily to extinguish Native American resistance and incorporate their territories into the ever-expanding United States nation-state. As a result, significant Native-led rebellions in American history were birthed within these zones of confrontation.
Despite their critical role in the battle for Native sovereignty, there has been a lack of literature discussing these histories. Now, Red Nation Rising marks the first attempt to shed light on these entwined narratives, empowering a new generation of Native freedom fighters to reclaim these frontlines in the fight against US colonial control.
With a page count of 239, Red Nation Rising is a profound and powerful exploration of Native life and land. Written with authority and rooted in the rich tradition of Native American resistance, this book serves as a manual for navigating bordertown violence and a manifesto for indigenous liberation. Embrace this vital work as you delve into the complex and tumultuous relationship between Native American nations and their colonial occupier.
