Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Since Predator Came: Notes From The Struggle For American Indian Liberation is an anthology of fierce, stringent, and singularly compelling essays about Native American history and political science, particularly focusing upon the struggle for survival and identity since Columbus' arrival heralded an age of colonization and genocidal extermination. One essay is a scathing critique of Columbus' elevated position in history despite records of his bloodthirsty atrocities against the indigenous people he met, which skillfully compares Columbus to genocidal Nazi engineers due to his ruthlessness, and to the fictitious sociopath Hannibal Lecter with regard to how Columbus' achievements are lauded in spite of his cruelties. Another is the story of the American Indian diaspora. Still another offers an "indigenist perspective" on Marxist theory and practice. All essays are fired with literate passion for justice and human rights, and make no apologies for their scathing attacks upon crimes and inequalities. Highly recommended.
One of Churchill's best!

Since Predator Came is personally one of my favorites by Churchill. The essays cover a wide range, from the Spanish conquest to the (very) theoretical Bering Land Bridge to the diaspora of Native Americans. Also, included is a succinct introduction by Native Hawaiian activist, Haunani-Kay Trask.
