    A Powerful Portrait of Native American History in San Diego, Marred Only By Flawed Editing and Design
  

*by P***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 11, 2017*

Strangers in a Stolen Land is a remarkable document of a heartbreaking cultural collision, and the resulting decimation of the indigenous culture of prehistoric California. Focusing on the Native American peoples of San Diego County, Richard Carrico offers an exhaustively researched and emotionally powerful account of the often cruel, always sad conflicts between the First Nation and everyone that followed. The book covers the time frame from first contact, 1769, to 1938. My favorite parts were the first two chapters because my interest goes to the native culture before contact. What was life really like for these remarkable people who lived here for thousands of years before the coming of the Others. I wish the whole book was about that. But Carrico takes you through the breakdown decade by decade. The only reason I couldn't go with a five star review has nothing to do with Carrico. The fault lies with his editor and publisher. The book is poorly designed. The margins are the narrowest margins I have ever seen with the print running right up to the edge of the page -- it's hard to make margin notes which I always do when reading non-fiction. And it's clear that this is the second printing of an older manuscript because somehow oddly hyphenated words pop up right in the middle of a line on nearly every page. On page 66, "com-munity."  On page 74, "pres-ent" and "auto-matically." It doesn't stop you in your tracks, but it is exceedingly odd. It just bugs me when editors and publishers let this stuff go to print. It's all through the book. Nevertheless, this is essential reading for anyone even remotely interested in Native American history and anthropology. The book is packed with gripping insight and astute analysis of the various sometimes conflicting portraits of historical accounts. As a long-time San Diegan, I found this book deeply moving with a palpable sense of place and a beautiful and dignified pathos.

    History of So. Cal. Indians
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 7, 2012*

Mr. Carrico's second edition of Strangers in a Stolen Land is a great improvement over the first edition.  The detail about the earlier years is excellent.  Although he claims to have attempted to write this history from the Indian point of view, the treatment is fairly even handed.
