Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz is a renowned anti-colonial feminist historian and activist who has written deeply influential books such as An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States. In this lecture she discusses how the conceptualization of the US as a “nation of immigrants”obscures the genocidal, militaristic and white nationalist roots of the capitalist state. Descendants of enslaved Africans, of the Indigenous Nations, and of Mexicans and Puerto Ricans cannot be subsumed into the concept of a “nation of immigrants.” This talk will address what this reality means for social justice organizing.
Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz grew up in rural Oklahoma, and has been active in the international Indigenous movement for more than four decades. Her 1977 book The Great Sioux Nation was the fundamental document at the First United Nations Conference on Indians in the Americas, held at the UN headquarters in Geneva. In the 1960s and 1970s, she was active in the anti-Vietnam War and radical left and feminist movements and worked closely with the SDS, the Weather Underground, and the African National Congress. She has also written on the 1960s social movements, feminism, Latin America, the Nicaraguan war against the Sandinistas, and international human rights law.
In her latest book, Loaded: A Disarming History of the Second Amendment, Dunbar-Ortiz argues that America’s obsession with guns is rooted in a long, bloody legacy of racist vigilantism, militarism, and white nationalism.
The Global Studies Annual Lecture is sponsored by the Global Studies department at The New School.
