"In Whose Ruins" uncovers hidden truths in American history, revealing how popular narratives have obscured the oppressive realities behind the nation's growth and power. Puglionesi explores four key historical sites, from Indigenous earthworks in West Virginia to the Manhattan Project in New Mexico, demonstrating how these places were exploited for economic gain, often at the expense of Indigenous communities. This book highlights the intertwining of myth-making and place, shedding light on how American myths have overwritten Indigenous histories and contributed to an unsustainable future. Puglionesi's research connects these myths with the extraction of power from the land, exposing forgotten truths and the enduring culture of Native Americans.
