Synopsis

This book examines how far native American races contributed to the current ethnic make-up of America and why that contribution has been underestimated. It studies racial classification within the context of the social and cultural history of Afro-Americans and native Americans, reinstating the importance of the native American contribution. It demonstrates how the blurring of the history of the American population has been caused by inexactitudes in the evolution of the meaning of racial terms (such as mulatto), and examines what implications the rectifying of these has for the history of colonialism, racism and slavery.
