Not a Nation of Immigrants

from Democracy in Color with Steve Phillips · host Democracy in Color

The U.S. is “not a nation of immigrants” despite popular opinion, especially among many Democrats. In this episode, we speak with acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne-Dunbar Ortiz about her newest book Not A Nation of Immigrants: Settler Colonialism, White Supremacy, and a History of Erasure and Exclusion. Founder of Advance Native Political Leadership Anathea Chino also joins us to discuss the growing political power of Indigenous people across the country. Roxanne and Anathea share their own politicization stories and their opinions on the growing trend of land acknowledgments. We also discuss the increased representation of Native people in shows like FX’s Reservation Dogs and Peacock TV’s Rutherford Falls.   References: Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz - @rdunbaro Not "A Nation of Immigrants": Settler Colonialism, White Supremacy, and a History of Erasure and Exclusion - http://reddirtsite.com Anathea Chino - @anatheabc Advance Native Political Leadership - @AdvanceNativePL FX on Hulu - Reservation Dogs Peacock - Ruthorford Falls
