Description
A uniquely important book in the canon of the North American revolutionary
left and anticolonial movements, Settlers was first published in the 1980s.
Written by activists with decades of experience organizing in grassroots
anticapitalist struggles against white supremacy, the book established
itself as an essential reference point for revolutionary nationalists and
dissident currents within the Marxist-Leninist and anarchist movements.
Always controversial within the establishment left, Settlers uncovers
centuries of collaboration between capitalism and white workers and their
organizations, as well as their neocolonial allies, showing how the United
States was designed from the ground up as a parasitic and genocidal entity.
As recounted in painful detail by J. Sakai, the United States has been
built on the theft of Indigenous lands and of Afrikan labor, on the robbery
of the northern third of Mexico, the colonization of Puerto Rico, and the
expropriation of the Asian working class, with each of these crimes being
accompanied by violence. This new edition includes a new essay and an
interview with author J. Sakai by Ernesto Aguilar.
