A Listmania! list by skilaatara(Massachusetts, USA)
The list author says: "These are books which tell the history of the Americas. The *complete* history of the Americas -- not just the history of Europeans in the Americas."
"The difference between this and other books on the same subject matter lies in Wright's selection of primary sources: contemporary records written by the Aztec, Inca, Maya, Iroquois and Cherokee. Using these he provides the desperately needed complement to the countless histories which focus on the European perspective -- whether to exult or denounce it -- but leave indigenous America mute."
"Pre-Columbian America has often been treated as an ahistoric place, but Mann helps to reveal what a ludicrous assumption that is in this engaging book."
