520 "White settlers saw land for the taking. They failed to
consider the perspective of the people already here. In
'The Land Is Not Empty', author Sarah Augustine unpacks
the harm of the Doctrine of Discovery - a set of laws
rooted in the fifteenth century that gave Christian
governments the moral and legal right to seize lands they
"discovered" despite those lands already being populated
by indigenous peoples. Legitimized by the church and
justified by a misreading of Scripture, the Doctrine of
Discovery says a land can be considered "empty" and
therefore free for the taking if inhabited by "heathens,
pagans, and infidels." In this prophetic book, Augustine,
a Pueblo woman, reframes the colonization of North America
as she investigates ways that the Doctrine of Discovery
continues to devastate indigenous cultures, and even the
planet itself, as it justifies exploitation of both
natural resources and people. This is a powerful call to
reckon with the root causes of a legacy that continues to
have devastating effects on indigenous peoples around the
globe and a call to recognize how all of our lives and our
choices are interwoven. What was done in the name of
Christ must be undone in the name of Christ, the author
claims. The good news of Jesus means there is still hope
for the righting of wrongs. Right relationship with God,
others, and the earth requires no less"--|cAmazon.
