An alternative view of the European "settling" of the U.S. Three views, in fact, ranging in tone from JIM HIGHTOWER's wry humor to the FIRESIGN THEATER's comic satire to ROXANNE DUNBAR-ORTIZ's matter-of-fact catalogue of horrors.
Hightower tells of American settler-Indian feasts before the one in Plymouth. The Firesign Theater reenacts how the West was won. Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz reveals many shocking details of the settlers' genocidal war against North America's native population.
With an afterword by KD.
The Firesign Theater segment is taken from their sketch, "Temporarily Humboldt County." Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz was interviewed by Abby Martin on "The Empire Files." I have edited and condensed the interview for radio broadcast.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "Executive Dining Room") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
