    I was surprised by the title of this book and at first confused it with a series called Christian Origins (A People's History of Christianity) which is several volumes in length. In view of a People's History along the lines you suggested. I would suggest the documentary "Trinkets and Beads" by Christopher Walker. It covers the fallout resulting from missionaries in the Amazon Basin who were largely funded by oil companies. It is viewable on Youtube in 2 parts.
