The American Empire and the Fourth World.

From http://www.mqup.mcgill.ca/book.php?bookid=1628:

"A sweeping analytical exploration of the encounter between Indigenous peoples and the European empires, national governments, and global corporations on the moving frontiers of globalization since 1492."

Advance review quote:

"I cannot overstate the importance of this book. In it, Anthony Hall has done something both simple and revolutionary to the globalization debate: he has backdated it to the year 1492. With dazzling command of historical detail and up-to-the minute analysis, Hall spins a gripping narrative seamlessly connecting Columbus' 'conquest' of the Americas to the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas. Most remarkably, readers are not left with a feeling of hopelessness in the face of this long history of plunder but are instead inspired to identify with valiant, centuries-old resistance movements. I see this book is as an overflowing tool box, filled with little known stories, legal arguments, and fresh ideas that, if used properly, could change the world." Naomi Klein, author No Logo

    Thus book is HUGE! (~700 pages) I saw it at a bookstore when looking for something else (Parenti\'s latest) but I\'ll put it on the list. It\'s a bit too expensive right now.
