Description

Settlers is a uniquely important book in the canon of the North American revolutionary left and anti-colonial movements. First published in the 1980s by activists with decades of experience organising in grassroots anti-capitalist struggles against white supremacy, the book soon established itself as an essential reference point for revolutionary nationalists and dissident currents within the predominantly colonialist Marxist-Leninist and anarchist movements at that time.

This new edition includes an interview with J. Sakai by Ernesto Aguilar.
