A sweeping chronicle placing race at the center of Native American U.S. history, from the award-winning author of This Land Is Their Land.
When the colonial era began, Europeans did not consider themselves as “Whites,” and Native Americans did not think of themselves as “Indians.” Yet as a genocidal struggle for America unfolded over the course of generations, all that changed. Euro-Americans developed a sense of racial identity, superiority, and national mission—of being chosen. They contended that Indians were damned to disappear so Whites could spread Christian civilization. Native people countered that the Great Spirit had created Indians and Whites separately and intended America to belong to Indians alone.
In The Chosen and the Damned, acclaimed historian David J. Silverman traces Indian-White racial arguments across four centuries, from the bloody colonial wars for territory to the national wars of extermination justified as “Manifest Destiny"; from the creation of reservations and boarding schools to the rise of the Red Power movement and beyond. In this transformative retelling, Silverman shows how White identity, defined against Indians, became central to American nationhood. He also reveals how Indian identity contributed to Native Americans’ resistance and resilience as modern tribal people, even as it has sometimes pit them against one another on the basis of race.
The epochal story of race in America is typically understood as a Black and White issue. The Chosen and the Damned restores the defining role Native people have played, and continue to play, in our national history.©2026 David J. Silverman (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

批評家のレビュー
[A] trenchant study … Silverman makes a powerful case that this history is crucial to understanding what motivates today’s resurgent … white nationalism. It’s a clear-eyed, forensic accounting of America’s original sin.
Silverman not only assembles a history of extermination, but lets us hear the language of betrayal, greed and fantasized racial superiority. The book succeeds both as a general history of Native/White events and relations (the battles, treaties, removals), a cultural profile of White Christian mentality and Native habits, and an examination of governmental actions, mainly failures, to enact supposedly humane laws while appeasing the demands of settlers and profiteers … The Chosen and the Damned is both revelatory and shocking … [Silverman] writes with the awareness that the struggles of Native peoples are far from resolved, and that their continuing efforts to preserve their cultural heritage and reclaim some modest portions of their lands deserve our attention.
A comprehensive and damning account of the divisive relationship between the United States and the Native Americans. Author David J. Silverman looks beyond the textbook dogma in detailing the litany of abuses committed against the men, women, and children of various tribes, resulting in a vital piece of American Historical literature.
A wide-ranging consideration of Indigenous people in a nation driven by white supremacist ideology . . . A charged argument for fully including Native Americans in America’s racial history.
An absorbing look at the complex relationship between Native Americans and race.
I have taught Native American history for thirty years and have always maintained that despite the injustice and the horror of it, we are not looking at a case of attempted genocide. Silverman’s book made me change my mind. It is a powerful work of the highest order.
Drawing on deep research, weighing evidence carefully, and refusing easy answers, Silverman places Indigenous peoples at the core of Americans ideas about race and national identity—and therefore at the core of the national story. Especially in these times when fundamental historical meanings are deeply contested, everyone should read this wise, humane, and disturbing book.
From colonial times to present-day controversies about “Who is an Indian,” David Silverman traces the central role of Native Americans in the ugly, messy, and violent history of race and racism in America. Euro-Americans developed a collective identity as “civilized Whites” that drove and justified the destruction and dispossession of “savage Indians”; Indigenous peoples adopted “Indian” as a shared identity that distinguished them from and bolstered resistance to their genocidal and land-hungry oppressors. Readers may be discomfited by this bold and sweeping history, or take issue with some of its interpretations, but no one should ignore it.
