Amazing book
2023年5月9日に英国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
So much knowledge here about what the American Indians gave to the world that most people probably didn’t know. Written by a very knowlegable professor who is also an Indian. A really worthwhile mind expanding work.

How the New World revolutionized the Old
2008年8月30日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Anthropologist Jack Weatherford traces an informative and entertaining case for his main thesis - that the contributions of the Native American population to the Old World have not been truly or fully appreciated more than 500 years after Columbus landed.
Written in a highly readable style, he describes how the New World revolutionized the Old World while the latter gobbled up the former. It is a fascinating story -- rich veins of gold and silver create a monetary economy that resulted in the rise of Europe's middle and merchant classes, the companies that formed to mine and provide miners and new settlers with goods and services lead to corporate power, and a rich variety of foods the natives raised in the Americas were shipped around the globe by those corporations and adopted into national diets so thoroughly that we now think of zucchini, tomatoes, and green beans as Italian food instead of imports.
Weatherford also weaves in explanations of how mineral riches in the Americas ended mining on Africa's Gold Coast and indirectly led to slavery, how the Iroquois Confederacy contributed to the federal government system the United States adopted, and how science could have benefited sooner and faster by paying more attention to native medical practices.
There are a few places where Weatherford probably pushes the idea a bit too far; but overall, I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Indian Givers" and would suggest reading it with "1491," an equally intriguing look at how old, wise, and diverse the New World was before the Old World arrived to plunder.

brings relevance to modern readers
2012年7月16日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済みAmazonで購入
I am happy to report that I was completely misled by the strange title of this book. I was also put off at first to start the book reading about modern day people in Bolivia. I wanted to know how the American Indians _of long ago_ had transformed the world. Boy, am I glad I kept reading! NOt only do the introductions to each chapter force you to realize how completely transformative those influences were and still are, but they make you realize how little the world has credited the indigenous peoples of America for any of them. Perhaps we can see this book as a form of a collective "Thank you" to these millions of people who were despised, oppressed, murdered, tortured, and obliterated after sharing their discoveries and advances with the modern world. Now if we can only figure out how to use these advances in sustainable ways like the "Indians" did, THAT would be a true way of saying Thanks. In the meantime, thank you to Jack Weatherford for writing this book!
