Could anyone recommend me books about Korean history 9th century to 18th century?

Also very interested in books discussing the Great Leap Forward in China. Particularly from a non western point of view if possible.

Finally, if anyone could recommend something regarding north and south America's first nations/indigenous cultures would be greatly appreciated!

I don't have any book recommendations, but I noticed u/spinnybingle's comprehensive posts of Korean history have been gaining a lot of traction on this sub. I would try looking at them. Hope that helped!

Haha I voraciously consumed those already which is what sparked the question in general!

For N. American indigenous cultures maybe start with An Indigenous People's History of the United States by Rosa Dunbar Ortiz. It's a rough overview but manageable. Masters of Empire is a good book about the Anishinaabe people of Great Lakes region and there was recently a book called Seeing Red by Michael John Witgen that looks like it would be a good follow up. The Northern Paiutes of the Malheur by Dan Wilson is a good intro to one of the Great Basin groups. Chinookan People of the Lower Columbia, edited by Robert Boyd is a good overview of one of the Columbia groups.
