An Evening with Dr. Ned Blackhawk

Museum of the City of New York

On Wednesday November 20th at 6:30pm, join the Museum of the City of New York for an evening with Dr. Ned Blackhawk, Howard R. Lamar Professor of History and American Studies at Yale University and an enrolled member of the Te-Moak Tribe of Western Shoshone Indians of Nevada. Dr. Blackhawk is the author and co-editor of four books in Native American and Indigenous history, including Violence over the Land: Indians and Empires in the early American West. His articles and review essays have appeared in the New York Times Book Review, American Quarterly, The American Historical Review, Ethnohistory,  Reviews in American History, and The American Indian Culture and Research Journal, among others.

In this intimate conversation, Blackhawk will discuss his latest book, The Rediscovery of America: Native Peoples and the Unmaking of U.S. History, winner of the National Book Award for Nonfiction. Moderating this lecture will be Jack (John Kuo Wei) Tchen, a historian, curator, writer, and dumpster diver dedicated to anti-racist, anti-colonialist democratic participatory storytelling. Tchen’s work focuses on opening up archives, museums, organizations, and classroom spaces to the stories and realities of those who have been excluded and deemed “unfit” in master narratives.
