Stolen Continents is a 1992 non-fiction book by Ronald Wright that covers the colonial theft of land between 1492 and 1990.

It specific focuses on activities directed towards the Maya, Inca, Aztec, Cherokee, and Iroquois peoples.

Stolen Continents covers the period 1492 to 1990 and documents five examples of the colonial theft of land from Maya, Inca, Aztec, Cherokee, and Iroquois people.

[1][2] Wright breaks each example into three stages: initial contact, violent struggles, and modern resistance.

"[3] The archaeologist Brian M. Fagan was critical of what he saw as Wright's prioritisation of indigenous perspectives, which he claimed made the book unbalanced.
