A Little Matter of Genocide: Holocaust and Denial in the Americas, 1492 to the Present (Paperback)

One is certainly entitled to one's opinion of Churchill, but lies are not opinions. They're just lies.

So much for the "issue" of Churchill's ethnicity, as if it had bearing on either the merits of his argument or the eloquence with which he presents it in the first place.

A LITTLE MATTER OF GENOCIDE is a superb book, far more comprehensive and better documented than Stannard's AMERICAN HOLOCAUST (note that the reviewer who complained about inaccurate footnotes offered no examples).

This is probably the best and most important work yet from one Native North America's best and most important writer/scholars.

Dear Reader,

Listen, if you want to read one book that puts it all into the proper perspective, you gotta read this book. You GOTTA! It's a good grab. Not only does it cover the 500 years from 1500 to 2000; it covers them in depth. The footnotes alone are worth the price of the book. I took two courses on The Native Indigenous People of the Western Hemisphere while in college. Almost everything I learned (and things I didn't learn) on the Indians in those two college courses is covered in this book. My professor, Dr. George Luter of the History Dept. of U-Mass, Lowell, thinks very highly of this book. Indeed, he recommended it to another one of my professors, Dr. Levon Chorbajian of the Sociology Dept. of U-Mass, Lowell, who thought it was so great that he used it as one of the books we had to read for his Sociology of Genocide class. After reading the book himself, Dr. Chorbajian told the whole class: "I've probably read between three and four thousand books in my life. I would have to say that this book by Ward Churchill is in the top 50! It's excellent!" Read this book, and you will truly understand the meaning of the word "genocide;" everything will finally appear in its appropriate and proportional perspective. When it comes to "man's inhumanity to man," there have been no greater victims than the Native Indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere. There is only one solution to this madness: awareness. This book increases your awareness. Ward Churchill should be commended for a great work of justice to the people of this continent. Unless and untill we all realise that we are ALL ONE and "all related," and that we are all responsible for making right what was done wrong by those "wasichu" (white men) who came before us, we will never be on good terms with the Indians. The first thing we can do is to give them back their sacred lands that was stolen from them: THE BLACK HILLS. Untill that is done, it's all more of the same old horseshit! Read this book and cry, get mad, and get up and DO something about it! This book is all you need to put a fire in your belly that will glow like a firefly in heat!
