СКАЧАТЬ Dunbar-Ortiz provides a brilliant decolonization of the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution. She describes how the ‘savage wars’ against Indigenous Peoples, slave patrols (which policing in the U.S. originates from), today’s mass shootings, and the rise in white nationalism are connected to the Second Amendment. This is a critically important work for all social science disciplines.”

      —Michael Yellow Bird, professor and director of Tribal and Indigenous Peoples Studies at North Dakota State University

      “There is no more interesting historian of the United States than Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. And with Loaded she has done it again, taking a topic about which so much has already been written, distilling it down, turning it inside out, and allowing us to see American history anew.”

      —Walter Johnson, author of River of Dark Dreams: Slavery and Empire in the Mississippi Valley’s Cotton Kingdom

      “In her trenchant analysis of the Second Amendment, Dunbar-Ortiz avoids a legalistic approach and eschews the traditional view that links the amendment to citizens’ need to protect themselves from a tyrannical government. . . . [Her] argument will be disturbing and unfamiliar to most readers, but her evidence is significant and should not be ignored.”

       I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today—my own government.

      —Martin Luther King, Jr., April 4, 1967 speech at Riverside Church, New York City
