IN WHOSE RUINS Power, Possession, and the Landscapes of American Empire

Tanis Parenteau's splendid narration skills are put on display in Puglionesi's study of how white settlers created a narrative regarding various Indigenous cultures in North America. The author describes several strands of thought that developed as European/American culture created the story of the settlement of the West. Parenteau's pacing, enunciation, and expression are all a wonderful match to the text. Her narration is consistent, clear, and disciplined. Listeners who wish to hear one scholar's look at how Europeans created their historical narratives regarding Indigenous cultures in the settlement of North America will enjoy.
