A visually stunning journey through 500 years of indigenous peoples' resistance.

The 500 Years of Resistance Comic Book

This book gives an overview of a fair number of events of resistance by indigenous people in the Americas. They cover five centuries of continuing invasion by Europeans. At one point, it even specifies how most of the European invaders were from cultures that had been previously invaded by and assimilated into Roman/Latin culture. So this is really about the ongoing erasure of local native cultures across the planet. The only drawback of the book is that it sometimes feels like a recitation of statistics of how many people battled and how many died over what period of time. I appreciate the portions that really show the human effects of this violence and domination. These are important stories.
