    Right now I'm reading Europe and the People Without History by Eric R. Wolf. The book is about the role that non-Europeans played in Colonialism and the spread of Capitalism, which is supposed to show that nations and societies are inter-connected and not bounded, separate entities.

    I just finished the chapter on the fur trade and it was really interesting to learn how American Indians participated in the trade and how it influenced their own history. Usually all you hear about is how Native Americans served as guides for explorers and traded with mountain men which gives the impression that they didn't do much but in reality Native Americans played a pretty big role in the fur trade.
