I'm really getting tired of vapid historical analysis which completely sidelines any notions of class, or literally anything other than the mainstream misconstruing of history though great man theory

Silvia Fererici's Caliban and the Witch is basically a people's history of western European feudalism and is an awesome read, a pretty rich text.

Walter Rodney's How Europe Underdeveloped Africa covers a lot of the transition specifically of Africa, but is maybe less fun to read.

I haven't read it, but heard 1491 is a great source for Turtle Island.

Was just gonna mention caliban and the witch, it's an excellent resource for feudal-era class analysis.

1491 is an excellent read, I highly recommend
