![]() The publication of all the great works of Romantic literature and art. With a pointedness approaching black humour, Brown opens each chapter with a detail of the more commonly-known 'great' events that occurred around the world concurrently with that particular act of one-sided warfare. Yet, it's easy to forget how marginalised this culture remains - in social understanding, in cultural portrayals, etc. Nowadays, we're more aware of the graphic nature of the treatment of the Native Americans, and so the book's heavy-handedness is particularly evident. Using transcripts, interviews and evidence from the time, Brown creates a moving portrait that shatters many myths which still resonate, and reminds us of the sins of such ground-level intolerance.Īdmittedly, the book would've held more sway when first released, for a generation raised on WWII and '50s-era patriotism. Without resorting to extensive flashbacks or appendices, Brown manages to create a sense of the West's treatment of Native Americans from colonisation to the particularly brutal 1800s, when genocide was effectively carried out. ![]() Each chapter chronicles a particular battle, people, or plight, in rough chronological order. To get the positives out of the way first: Dee Brown's immense wealth of knowledge and research contributes to make Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee a detailed-yet-well-paced experience. ![]() ![]() ![]() Heartbreaking, mindset-shattering, eviscerating. ![]()
