Indigenous literature

How did we get here?
What I was taught does not explain the world as I am witnessing it. So I compiled this list as a personal curriculum for histories that are critical of empire and capitalism, and actually shows us how we got here.
The list is not comprehensive, but I hope it helps people identify the gaps in their own historical education!
βπ History We Were Never Taught
The history that didnβt make it into our textbooks. Stories centered on Indigenous, Black, and Global South voices. No whitewashed timelines. Just truth, context, and the receipts.
