Review "Its been a long time since a history has touched me so deeply with its poignancy. David Correia offers a masterful original narrative that draws upon meticulous archival research and conversations and support from the Casuse family." —Jennifer Denetdale, Navajo Times"Correias book is also special because in the tradition of Howard Zinn—and Mike Davis—it is a look at settler violence from the perspective of those who were affected and those who fought back. This is not the history, to paraphrase Malcolm X, of Plymouth Rock. It is the story of the people upon whom Plymouth Rock landed." —Dave Zirin, The Progressives Best Books of 2022"Like his Apache forbearers, Larry Casuse represents an undeniable reality, an unshakeable strength. Their evil is mighty. But it cant stand up to our stories, writes Leslie Marmon Silko. These words open An Enemy Such as This. Like all Indigenous freedom fighters, Larry is a story. As long as this story continues, so too will Indigenous life. Settler colonialism is the negation of life, held together through violence. You cant forge a future out of a negation. Indigenous resistance is a story of affirmation. Larry is an affirmation." —Melanie Yazzie, from the Foreword"A brilliant tour de force bringing back to life the beloved Navajo militant Larry Casuse who died at the hands of Gallup, NM police. In doing so, David Correia traces the Casuse family history within a world-historical context of Western colonialism, both world wars, US wars against the Native Nations, and continued settler-colonialism and bordertown violence, propped up by US law. This is a breathtaking and original historical narrative that is also a page-turner." —Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, author of Not "A Nation of Immigrants," Settler-Colonialism, White Supremacy and a History of Erasure and Exclusion Promotional Multi-city author tour including Albaqurque (the authors hometown), New York, and Los AngelesNational media campaign, including TV, radio, and podcast interviewsNational print and online campaign, including reviews, features, and off-the-book essaysExtensive social media campaign, including wide bookstagrammer and influencer galley mailing National consumer advertising campaign at publication targeting top literary sitesLibrary marketing Long Description The remarkable true story of an Indigenous family who fought back, over multiple generations, against the world-destroying power of settler colonial violence. , for the first time, tells the history of that colonial enemy through the simultaneously epic and intimate story of Larry Casuse and those, like him, who fought against it.
