Intelligence, Espionage, and Counterintelligence
Making of North American Civilization: From Turtle Island to the Twenty-First Century
How did North America evolve from Indigenous civilizations into a global hegemonic civilization?
Civilizational History of North America: Turtle Island and the American Imperium is a projected 315-volume civilizational archive tracing the evolution of North America from the first human migrations across Beringia (c. 28,000–15,000 BCE) to the geopolitical and technological transformations of the twenty-first century. Beginning with the Indigenous worlds of Cahokia, Chaco Canyon, Tenochtitlan, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and the Arctic cultures of the Inuit, the series examines the continental transition initiated by Christopher Columbus in 1492, the rise of the Spanish, French, and British colonial systems, the formation of the United States Constitution at Philadelphia (1787), the expansion across the Mississippi Valley, the Civil War (1861–1865), industrial capitalism, world wars, the Cold War, globalization, digital networks, and artificial intelligence. Structured into seven principal eras and hundreds of thematic expansions, the work integrates political history, economic systems, religious transformations, warfare, technology, ecology, race relations, and mass culture into a single continental narrative. Central to the project is the unresolved historical question: Is America a republic, empire, network civilization, or an unprecedented synthesis of continental power, digital infrastructure, democratic ideology, and global cultural hegemony? The series treats North America not merely as a nation-state system, but as an evolving civilization whose foundations remain layered upon the older memory of Turtle Island.
