- Abstract
The article discusses the book "Imagining the Heartland: White Supremacy and the American Midwest" by Britt E. Halvorson and Joshua O. Reno. The authors argue that the Midwest has been a site of racial violence and white supremacy throughout history, despite its association with kindness and Americanness. They highlight the role of negative tropes about Indigenous populations and the myth of the virtuous white farmer in shaping the idea of the Midwest. The article also includes a review of the book "Great Plains Forts" by Jay H. Buckley and Jeffery D. Nokes, which provides an overview of forts in the Great Plains region. The review notes that the book is recommended for general readers interested in historical sites.
