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.
