Seeing Red

Overview
Against long odds, the Anishinaabeg resisted removal, retaining
thousands of acres of their homeland in what is now Michigan,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Their success rested partly on their
roles as sellers of natural resources and buyers of trade goods,
which made them key players in the political economy of plunder
that drove white settlement and U.S. development in the Old
Northwest. But, as Michael Witgen demonstrates, the credit for
Native persistence rested with the Anishinaabeg themselves.
Outnumbering white settlers well into the nineteenth century, they
leveraged their political savvy to advance a dual citizenship that
enabled mixed-race tribal members to lay claim to a place in U.S.
civil society. Telling the stories of mixed-race traders and
missionaries, tribal leaders and territorial governors, Witgen
challenges our assumptions about the inevitability of U.S.
expansion. Deeply researched and passionately written, Seeing
Red will command attention from readers who are invested in
the enduring issues of equality, equity, and national belonging at
its core.
