ePub The Civil War along Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau (Civil War Series) by Aaron Astor in History

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.
