Seeing Red: Indigenous Land, American Expansion, and the Political Economy of Plunder in North America

byMichael Witgen

Against long odds, the Anishinaabeg resisted removal, retaining thousands of acres of their homeland in what is now Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Seeing Red combines scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, allowing the evidence to complicate easy judgments and familiar explanations. Seen through the lens of history and social science, Seeing Red explains not only what happened, but why competing interpretations still matter. By the end, the indigenous land, american expansion, and the political economy of plunder in north america emerges as a layered story of competing motives, unintended results, and choices made under pressure.
