Readers usually keep a TBR or To Be Read list for them to keep track of what books they intend to read at some point in the future, whether it’s new releases or older titles they haven’t gotten to yet. This list can also help readers stay organized, make better reading choices, and avoid feeling overwhelmed by a large collection of unread books.
History is often told from a singular perspective, but true understanding requires a broader lens. In Black and Red: Negro and Native American Slave Owners in North America (1655-1865), Colonel Vaughan Witten, Ph.D., brings to light an often-overlooked aspect of American history—the involvement of African Americans and Native Americans in slave ownership.
The topic of slavery in America is often framed within a binary of oppressors and oppressed, yet history reveals a far more intricate reality. Witten’s meticulous research uncovers how individuals from marginalized groups also participated in the institution of slavery, adding layers of complexity to our understanding of historical power structures.
By addressing these nuances, Black and Red challenges readers to rethink long-held assumptions and broaden their perspectives on America’s past.
Colonel Witten’s work is not just about the past—it is about its relevance to today. Understanding historical slavery in all its forms provides valuable insights into contemporary issues of inequality, power, and social justice.
His in-depth research and thought-provoking analysis make Black and Red a must-read for historians, educators, students, and anyone interested in uncovering the multifaceted truth of America’s history.
