"Settlers is a critical analysis of the colonization of the
Americas that overturns the 'official' narrative of poor and
dispossessed European settlers to reveal the true nature of
genocidal invasion and land theft that has occurred for over five
hundred years. If you want to understand the present, you must know
the past, and this book is a vital contribution to that
effort."
--Gord Hill, author of 500 Years of Indigenous Resistance "Great
works measure up, inspire higher standards of intellectual and
moral honesty, and, when appreciated for what they are, serve as a
guide for those among us who intend a transformation of reality.
Settlers should serve as a reminder (to anyone who needs one) of
the genocidal tendencies of the empire, the traitorous interplay
between settler-capitalist, settler-nondescript, and colonial
flunkies."
--Kuwasi Balagoon, Black Liberation Army "When Settlers hit the
tiers of San Quentin, back in 1986, it totally exploded our ideas
about what we as a new class of revolutionaries thought we knew
about a so-called 'united working class' in amerika. And what's
more, it brought the actual contradictions of national oppression
and imperialism into sharp focus. It was my first, and as such my
truest, study of the actual mechanics behind the expertly
fabricated illusion of an amerikan proletariat."
--Sanyika Shakur, author of Monster: The Autobiography of an L.A.
