The State of Native America, pp 1-275. See also anything written
by the author (ibid.); additionally, a further discussion of
racism can be found everywhere AK Press publications are remaindered.
Whole forests have been destroyed (by capitalistic exploiters of
Indigenous resources) to publish a mere fraction of the sins against
various cultures committed by the imperialist US in the name of racism (and
genocide).
2 Since its coinage in the 1940s, the
term genocide has grown to mean any act that has the potential to offend
anyone, but oddly enough, the word has maintained its original impact
among the dyscogniscenti.
3 The author really likes to say the word "genocide." It never
loses its freshness or its "in your face" impact. Genocide.
Genocide. Say it with the author: "genocide." Genocide! See what
the author means?
4 Did you notice the word before "in"? Yes, it was
genocide.
5 For the convenience of the dullards who are likely to buy this book
and carry it dog-eared and highlighted in their ratty backpacks through
all seven of their undergraduate years, the author has cleaved to the imperialist hegemonic genocidal dating
system (eg: A.D., B.C., B.C.E.).
6 In this use, the word "century" again denotes that period of time
representing a fifth of the epoch of Eurocentric genocide of indigenous
people. Additionally, the word is derived from "centurion"--a
well-known symbol of imperialism from the ancient Greeks up through the
Third Reich and on to the current Bush administration.
7 In this usage, "critical" pertains to the scholarly
act of criticism of either a crypto-fascist scholar's work or a fresh
examination of history through the clarifying lens of post-modern
enlightenment.
8 "Examination"--despite its connotations of proctology
and similar impero-fascist intrusions--is used here instead to denote a
probing inspection of the dark crevices of Eurocentric genocide.
9 The word "ongoing" was arguably coined by reporters in
the early 20th hegemonic century, who allegedly also coined the word
"upcoming." Rumor has it that a publisher sent a memo to his
editorial staff stating "If I see one more 'upcoming' I am going to
be 'downcoming' and somebody will be 'outgoing.' While it might be
argued that this footnote does not
pertain to the subject of this manuscript, the author enjoys the occasional
bon mot.
10 Those few remaining trees that escaped death to publish the
thousands of tomes examining racism found themselves pulped instead to print
scholarly books critical of all things European.
11 Of course, in this case the author does not mean "eradication"
or "removal from the face of the planet" or even
"forcibly stop the living processes thereof" but rather
"ignore or otherwise hurt the feelings thereof."
12 Indigenous in this case means the most recently replaced
residents of various areas, but only if said residents were replaced by
people of a different color. The replacement, attack, torture, or eating
of said residents by people of the same color is, of course, completely
understandable.
13 In the broadest sense, "people" includes those beings
who allege their point of departure to be Europe, although numerous
scholars, Vine Deloria Jr. among them, agree that it is entirely
possible that the so-called "white race" is in fact comprised
of constructs by denizens of the planet Nibiru who were brought to the
Earth as slaves to work in the gold mines. so in this case, as with the
rest of this manuscript, "people" refers entirely to Indians.
14 A colonial name used for the convenience of those unhip enough
to require something easily pronounced. Those in the know will refer to
the author as Keezjunnahbeh; those really in the know will call the
author Kenis.
15 The 72,437 figure includes footnotes, but excludes
bibliography, index, and back-cover blurbs. Word count for this
manuscript, excluding footnotes, is 1,307
