Stars: 4
Review by: Mandy Apgar
Depressing but
in a historical way. An examination of the impact outside colonization
had on the North Americas, Polynesia, Australia and Antarctica. And it
doesn't mince words. Indigenous natives are
either slaughtered or fall to diseases brought in by person claiming to
teach them love and peace. Scores of species are impacted due to
overhunting, a few driven to extinction, and others nearly so. Entire
cultures become practically eradicated as their belief
structure is taken apart, with an example being several groups of
Aborigines - who had their children simply taken away from them with the
reason being that such "savages" could not raise them in a so called
proper atmosphere, or with many other groups whose
religious shrines or documents are destroyed for being allegedly evil
and idolatrous.
