Columbus and Other Cannibals: The Wetiko Disease of Exploitation, Imperialism, and Terrorism

By Jack D. Forbes

With an introduction by Derrick Jensen

Celebrated Native thinker Jack D. Forbes's Columbus and Other Cannibals was one of the founding texts of the anticivilization movement when it was first published in 1978. His history of terrorism, genocide, and ecocide told from a Native American point of view has inspired America's most influential activists for decades. His radical critique of the modern "civilized" lifestyle is now more relevant now than ever before. This updated edition includes a new chapter by the author and an introduction by Derrick Jensen.

Important and Significant Read

This book has not left my mind since I've read it. Although written in the 70's originally, it is just as relevant. Forbes' lens is so clear once you see through it. He explains how a level of greed can be to the point of being disease and how we've turned people plagued with it into heros.
