Authors : Gherras Hakima . Aboubou Hachemi .

Abstract

To compare Howard Zinn’s and Paul Johnson’s constructions of Indigenous history and settler-colonial power using Tribal Critical Theory (TribalCrit), this article asks: How do Zinn’s and Johnson’s historical narratives align with or diverge from the core TribalCrit tenets? It employed Comparative Historical Analysis (CHA) and deductive coding based on TribalCrit to examine material dispossession, Indigenous sovereignty, and epistemology.
