Ned Blackhawk Books in Order

This interpretive history brings scholarship on Native America into a single narrative intended for teaching and broader understanding. Blackhawk examines the absence of American Indian history from wider accounts of America and the consequences of that omission.

Blackhawk traces how colonial expansion transformed the lives of Ute, Paiute and Shoshone peoples across the Great Basin. Centering Indigenous responses to trade, slavery and violence, he examines the strategies communities used to survive and reshape the developing American West.

Ned Blackhawk surveys developments in Native American historical scholarship and their impact on the wider study of the United States. The essay considers how expanding attention to Indigenous experiences changes interpretations of national history and the questions historians ask.
