Yet, as Andrés Reséndez illuminates in his myth-shattering \u003ci\u003eThe Other Slavery\u003c\/i\u003e, it was practiced for centuries as an open secret. There was no abolitionist movement to protect the tens of thousands of Natives who were kidnapped and enslaved by the conquistadors. Reséndez builds the incisive case that it was mass slavery—more than epidemics—that decimated Indian populations across North America. Through riveting new evidence, including testimonies of courageous priests, rapacious merchants, and Indian captives, \u003ci\u003eThe Other Slavery\u003c\/i\u003e reveals nothing less than a key missing piece of American history. For over two centuries we have fought over, abolished, and tried to come to grips with African American slavery. It is time for the West to confront an entirely separate, equally devastating enslavement we have long failed truly to see.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e“Beautifully written…A tour de force.”—\u003ci\u003eChronicle of Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Houghton Mifflin Harcourt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47015004700912,"sku":"9780547640983","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780547640983_p0.jpg?v=1763715398","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780547640983","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
