What to expect
'An untold story of colonial history, both epic and intimate, and a thrilling revelation' Adam Rutherford
'Mind-blowing . . . this is how history should be told' Benjamin Zephaniah
In this groundbreaking new history, Caroline Dodds Pennock recovers the long-marginalised stories of the Indigenous Americans who - as enslaved people, diplomats, explorers, servants and traders - left a profound impact on European civilisation in the 'Age of Discovery'. On Savage Shores is a sweeping account of power and influence in America and Europe - one which could forever change the way we understand our global history.
Critics Review
-
On Savage Shores is a work of historical recovery . . . few books make as compelling a case for such a reimagining
GUARDIAN, Book of the Day -
In On Savage Shores, Dodds Pennock has performed a monumental work of historical excavation. Beautifully written and painstakingly researched, this is first-rate scholarship
FINANCIAL TIMES -
A thrilling, beautifully written and important book that changes how we look at transatlantic history, finally placing Indigenous peoples not on the side-lines but at the centre of the narrative. Highly recommended
PETER FRANKOPAN -
Dodds Pennock’s unpeeling of the indigenous experience from obscure manuscripts . . . is a much-needed and refreshing take on our all-too Eurocentric telling of the past
THE TIMES -
Not only changes how we think about the first contact between America and Europe but also sets the methodological standard for a new way of understanding the origin of the modern world
NEW YORK REVIEW OF BOOKS -
On Savage Shores is mind-blowing, and it’s an important contribution to struggle for a fair and more balanced telling of history – I felt genuinely enlightened. Dodds Pennock is a truth teller of the highest order, and a first class communicator. This is how history should be told
