Many people assert “American exceptionalist” arguments, which state a lack of class-consciousness and union tradition among American workers is to blame. While the racial, ethnic, and gender divisions within the American working class have created organizational challenges for the working class, Moody uses archival research to argue that despite their divisions, workers of all ethnic and racial groups in the Gilded Age often displayed high levels of class consciousness and political radicalism. In place of “American exceptionalism,” Moody contends that high levels of internal migration during the late 1800’s created instability in the union and political organizations of workers. Because of the tumultuous conditions brought on by the uneven industrialization of early American capitalism, millions of workers became migrants, moving from state to state and city to city. The organizational weakness that resulted undermined efforts by American workers to build independent labor-based parties in the 1880s and 1890s. Using detailed research and primary sources; Moody traces how it was that ‘pure-and-simple’ unionism would triumph by the end of the century despite the existence of a significant socialist minority in organized labor at that time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKim Moody was a founder of Labor Notes and is the author of \u003cem\u003eOn New Terrain\u003c\/em\u003e (Haymarket Books, 2017).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat People Are Saying\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Kim Moody is one of the leading intellectuals of the labor movement.” Robin D.G.

AKDAAN aims to promote a culture that is nationalist, scientific and for the masses. This aim will be the impetus to creative productions in the various genres of literature and the other arts. Within such a perspective on artistic creation, AKDAAN recognizes the value of the several languages of the Filipino people, and seeks to further enrich them. These languages will serve as the creative venue as well as a productive theme of cultural discussions which are organic to Filipino culture and are not loans from foreign cultures. AKDAAN aims to awaken the consciousness of Filipinos to a nationalist, analytical and profoundly important portrayal of the situation and aspirations of the nation. The literary pieces and artistic creations will root out the factors and obstacles that create a colonialized, commercialized and repressive culture. AKDAAN is involved in a nationalist movement, along with other sectors that advocate for change in society. AKDAAN holds training sessions wherein people can hone their literary and artistic skills and talents. Workshops, discussions and study sessions will be available, to assist in the liberation of our culture from centuries of oppression by colonialist cultures. As AKDAAN's contribution to the growth and proliferation of a great nationalist and mass-oriented culture, it provides such sessions as a venue for the critical evaluation of the following literary and artistic creations: creative writing pieces; original music and songs; creations in the visual arts; musical compositions using indigenous instruments; creative presentations in theatre and dance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eEditor: Akdaan\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eEditor: Petronila Cleto\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eEditor: Luisito Queaño\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eISBN: 9780993612626\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSize: 216 pages\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: Migrante Canada\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eYear: 2015\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Migrante Canada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40175387836509,"sku":"9780993612626","price":24.3,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0826\/1213\/products\/akdaan2.jpg?v=1654989051"},{"product_id":"we-re-here-because-you-were-there-immigration-and-the-end-of-empire","title":"We’re Here Because You Were There: Immigration and the End of Empire","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the origins of the hostile environment for immigrants in Britain? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on new archival material from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Ian Sanjay Patel retells Britain’s recent history in an often shocking account of state racism that still resonates today. In a series of post-war immigration laws, Britain’s colonial and Commonwealth citizens from the Caribbean, Asia and Africa were renamed immigrants. In the late 1960s, British officials drew upon an imperial vision of the world to contain what it saw as a vast immigration ‘crisis’ involving British citizens, passing legislation to block their entry. As a result, British citizenship itself was redefined along racial lines, fatally compromising the Commonwealth and exposing the limits of Britain’s influence in world politics. Combining voices of so-called immigrants trying to make a home in Britain and the politicians, diplomats and commentators who were rethinking the nation, Ian Sanjay Patel excavates the reasons why Britain failed to create a post-imperial national identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe reactions of the British state to post-war immigration reflected the shift in world politics from empires to decolonization. Despite a new international recognition of racial equality, Britain’s colonial and Commonwealth citizens were subject to a new regime of immigration control based on race. From the Windrush generation who came to Britain from the Caribbean to the South Asians who were forced to migrate from East Africa, Britain was caught between attempting both to restrict the rights of its non-white colonial and Commonwealth citizens and redefine its imperial role in the world. Despite Britain’s desire to join Europe, which eventually occurred in 1973, its post-imperial moment never arrived, subject to endless deferral and reinvention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat People Are Saying\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Combining startling new research with a clear and convincing argument, this shows just how essential the history of migration and race is to understanding Britain today.” Daniel Trilling, author of \u003cem\u003eLights in the Distance\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“Many studies of immigration suffer from two weaknesses. They discuss it in isolation from a discussion of national identity, and treat it as a domestic issue that can be analysed and explained in terms of domestic constraints and compulsions. Patel’s new book is happily free from these, and offers a historically rich and conceptually rigorous study of post-1945 immigration to the UK, especially that of East African Asians. He locates it in Britain’s imperial context and traces with great skill the debate on Britain’s self-understanding that it sprang from and influenced.

Situating the arrival of nonwhite people in Britain in an intra-imperial context, this bravely and innovatively wide-ranging account shows that neither were they immigrants, nor was Britain ending empire. Their arrival was a phenomenon of continuity rather than a dramatic break with the past. With a compassionate authorial voice, Patel captures the trauma of unbelonging and of racist gatekeeping of the planet against a backdrop of continuous, untrammeled British emigration.

We are thus less concerned in this special issue with the “proper” historically delimited event of fascism in Europe between 1919 and 1945 than with the broad resonance and rhetorical salience of fascism.[i] Acknowledging that fascism as such is always shaped by the dynamics of particular places and conjunctures, most salient in this regard is an analysis that simultaneously de-exceptionalizes fascism and seeks to comprehend its specificity in an expanded global context. In her 1923 address and resolution for the Enlarged Plenum of the Communist International’s Executive Committee, Clara Zetkin argued that “fascist forces are organizing internationally, and the workers’ struggle against fascism must also organize on a world scale.”[ii] She contended that fascism emerged as a “sham revolutionary program” in response to “the imperialist war and the accelerated dislocation of the capitalist economy,” and as a necessary counterforce, “in contrast to the Second International, the Comintern is not an International for the elite of white proletarians of Europe and America. It is an International for the exploited of all races.”[iii] The global arena of racialized violence, plunder, and exploitation was in this sense an arena extended through imperialism and colonialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eBetween the end of the First World War and the early Cold War, numerous anticolonial writers of color emphasized the direct connection between the atrocities of imperialism and fascism. They persuasively argued that fascism was fundamentally entangled with the form and practice of colonial rule, racialized organization of dispossession and death, and insatiable imperial aspiration in order to insist that defeating fascism required ending all manner of colonialism and imperialism. George Padmore first wrote about what he called “colonial fascism” in \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHow Britain Rules Africa\u003c\/em\u003e (1936), further developing this analysis in publications over the next two decades.[iv] In his 1938 address to the conference on Peace and Empire, Jawaharlal Nehru observed that “the essence of the problem of peace is the problem of empire,” declaring that fascism is simply an “intensified form of the same system which is imperialism.”[v] Writing in 1949, Claudia Jones called attention to the “growth of militancy among Negro women” as having “profound meaning, both for the Negro liberation movement and for the emerging anti-fascist, anti-imperialist coalition.”[vi] In the wake of the Second World War and rising tide of anticolonial independence movements, in \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDiscourse on Colonialism\u003c\/em\u003e (1950\/1955) Aimé Césaire described the “decivilizing” consequences of colonialism for colonizers themselves as a root cause of Nazism and other Euro-American fascisms.[vii] During the present conjuncture, when the question of fascism appears resurgent, genealogies of anticolonial and anti-imperialist critique are indispensable for understanding and dismantling the far-reaching entanglements of rightwing authoritarianism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eFascism as a heuristic in this sense can be thus important for several reasons. First, an analytic of fascism situates rightwing reaction within the historical and material crises of imperialism of which fascism is in some fundamental sense symptomatic. To invoke fascism is to place various iterations of authoritarianism and state and extralegal violence directly in relation to racial and gendered capitalist crisis and the expanded reproduction of imperialism. Second, the mass appeal of authoritarian nationalism and white supremacy has been historically galvanized during moments of accelerated insecurity and potential displacement of the so-called middle class. For instance, Trump’s base was and remains primarily middle-income white people as well as particular fractions of corporate capital and is not principally a movement of working-class or impoverished white people, even if it has also successfully recruited from these sectors. Third, fascism as an embrace of punitive governance partially animated by a politics of fear, cruelty, racism, and heteropatriarchy is essentially reactionary. This reactionary appeal to the certainty of authority and order against demonized and otherized groups emerges in opposition to the promise and popularity of a radical politics of redistribution (for instance, in relation to anarchist and communist revolutionary movements during the interwar period and Cold War era) and abolition (as against the Movement for Black Lives and initiatives to defund the police today). During the current moment, it is also a revanchist alignment against the momentum of trans* and queer liberation, climate justice, migrant and asylum seeker assertions of life against border imperialism, and Indigenous peoples’ demands for the return of stolen land. This reactionary disposition is of the utmost significance, especially in that it requires a focus on that against which it is organized and defined — although horrific, raw power and rule by violence in this sense are in many ways the least stable basis of authority and control.[viii]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eWithout overstating continuities or equivalencies, we contend that naming fascism often serves to index the relationship among state power, imperialism and colonization, religious\/racist nationalism, and white supremacist terrorism as the reactive conditions of counterrevolution and racial capitalism. The racial terror and genocide wrought by slavery and colonialism preceded, were co-constitutive of, and continue after Mussolini’s Fasci Italiani di Combattimento, the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, and Japan’s Shōwa nationalism. There are multiple valences for an expanded frame of fascisms. Among the most frequently referenced examples of links between European fascism and colonial policy are Germany’s 1904-1908 genocide against the Herero and Nama peoples in South West Africa (now Namibia) and U.S. policy toward Indigenous peoples and Jim Crow laws as models emulated by the Third Reich.[ix] In the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, African American petitions to the United Nations, such as W. E. B. Du Bois and the NAACP’s 1947 \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAn Appeal to the World: A Statement of Denial of Human Rights to Minorities in the Case of citizens of Negro Descent in the United States of America and an Appeal to the United Nations for Redress\u003c\/em\u003e — which condemns the U.S. as part of “the imperialist block which is controlling the colonies of the world” — and the 1951 Civil Rights Congress’s \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe Charge Genocide: The Crime of the Government Against the Negro People\u003c\/em\u003e were exemplary of a burgeoning Black antifascism.[x] In turn, similar demands for redress and liberation framed in relation to fascism extended through the 1955 Bandung Conference, the 1966 Tricontinental Conference, and the growing momentum for worldwide decolonization.[xi]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003eDuring the 1960s and 1970s, the Black Panther Party likewise called out as fascist the constitutive white supremacism and imperialism of the United States — brutally enacted by the everyday actions of the police, counterinsurgency operations, and the military — and sought to build a broad coalition of activists with such initiatives the United Front Against Fascism conference in 1969.[xii] Activist groups such as the John Brown Anti-Klan Committee and Anti-Racist Action in the United States and the Anti-Nazi League and Anti-Fascist Action in Britain were explicitly organized against the fascism of the racist New Right and skinhead gangs of the 1970s and 1980s.[xiii] More recently, a heterogeneous group of antifascist organizations, initiatives, and actions sometimes collectively referred to as Antifa — or, in the case of Donald Trump’s “anti-Antifa” campaign, conjured into a single vilified and violent organization — have mobilized against rightwing and white racist terrorism. In each of these instances, the continuities, tensions, and disjunctions of what gets named fascism in particular times and places matter within and across national and international frames. We aim to think with such genealogies to further question how fascism as a heuristic can be further situated with respect to imperialism and settler colonialism as well as what such a heuristic might offer with regard to anticolonial thought and action as one especially salient arena of struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\" style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\"\u003e[i] Matthew N.

Further, she compellingly details how Fortress Europe and White Australia are using immigration diplomacy and externalized borders to maintain a colonial present, how temporary labor migration in the Arab Gulf states and Canada is central to citizenship regulation and labor control, and how far-right nationalism is escalating deadly violence in the US, Israel, India, the Philippines, Brazil, and across Europe, while producing a disaster of statelessness for millions elsewhere.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e A must-read in these difficult times of war, inequality, climate change, and global health crisis, \u003cem\u003eBorder and Rule\u003c\/em\u003e is a clarion call for revolution.

Those of us who have been reading and following her for years expect nothing less. She is not only one of North America’s most brilliant thinkers, she is also an organizer who has devoted her life to fighting racial capitalism, colonialism, militarism, xenophobia, patriarchy, and defending the rights of migrants, Indigenous people, women, and the unhoused. This book is a shock to the system.” —Robin D. G.

An enormous contribution to our movements.” —Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I was haunted and agitated by this book which is part expose and part clarion call for radical action. Harsha Walia offers an unsparing analysis of the violences of forced migration, borders, imperialism and capitalism. The case studies presented in this book weave a quilt that provides us with needed knowledge to confront current problems that demand an organized collective response. The ideas in this book will linger long after you’ve put it down.” —Mariame Kaba, founder and director of Project NIA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This indispensable, deeply researched, and beautifully written book is the first and most in-depth global analysis of borders and immigration, wars and displacement, imperialism and western white nationalism.

Harsha Walia is relentless in drilling into, detailing, and cataloguing the array of processes, players, policies, and ideologies that uphold systems of border imperialism—while simultaneously mapping-out for us an understanding of how we can disrupt and dismantle them.” —Justin Akers Chacón, co-author of No One Is Illegal: Fighting Racism and State Violence on the U.S.-Mexico Border\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Building on the thesis of her seminal book Undoing Border Imperialism, Harsha Walia's incisive voice in Border and Rule -- equally rigorously theoretical and lovingly community-minded -- refuses to allow our struggles and organizing to exist in vacuums. From anti-black police murders and carcerality to the fortressing of borders across indigenous lands to the fabricated migrant crises to the exploitations of their labor, and to the racial nationalisms and legal structures that drive these violences, Walia's latest book provides an international cartography of the crisis of global neoliberalism. It is a stunning and horrific elucidation of Ayesha Siddiqi's line that 'Every border implies the violence of its maintenance.' But the narrative Walia deftly weaves is the polar opposite of alarmist political nihilism: it is a clarion call for our solidarities to always transcend the physical and ideological boundaries drawn by empire. This is not simply a book about violence, it is also a book about the potential for care and for freedom.” —Zoé Samudzi, co-author of As Black As Resistance: Finding the Conditions for Liberation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Timely and topical, Border and Rule will be of interest to scholars, activists, and general readers. Walia connects variants of ethnonationalism across borders and illustrates how a world order predicated on aggression and displacement harms the most vulnerable among us, a category that includes a significant portion of the global population. Her analysis presents clear and compelling evidence that our current trajectory is unsustainable and offers cogent solutions trained on justice for the victims of endless war and colonial accumulation.” —Steven Salaita, author of Inter\/Nationalism: Decolonizing Native America and Palestine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Harsha Walia's Border and Rule forwards a clear and incisive analysis of the multiple crises facing migrants today amidst the rise of racist nationalisms globally. Her work highlighs the entanglements between global capitalism, imperialism, and past and present dynamics of Indigenous genocide and anti-Black governance that are at the heart of the border regime. Border and Rule is a must-read, sure to become a classic, for those of us concerned with building a world premised on freedom of movement, against and beyond the logics of the nation-state.” —Robyn Maynard, author of Policing Black Lives: State violence in Canada from slavery to the present\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Read Harsha Walia and your understanding of the world will shift. This book is a comprehensive demolition of the borders that divide us and a deft takedown of the myth of the nation. Through a range of case-studies, Walia reveals overarching patterns of exclusion and exploitation, criss-crossing the globe to make a brave, deeply learned, and utterly convincing call for radical solidarity. With cries of \"build a wall\" ringing out and ethno-nationalism gaining steam, Walia’s critical intervention couldn’t be better timed.” —Astra Taylor, author of Democracy May Not Exist, but We'll Miss It When It's Gone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Confused about how we got to this point? Harsha Walia explains clearly and concisely the multiple forces causing global poverty and displacement--and the resistance and organizing around the world. Walia provides a historical analysis of policies that have cut down people’s well-being and driven poverty, violence, terror and mass migration, and highlights the myriad forms of resistance and organizing that are all-too-often invisiblized. An excellent explanation of borders, migration and the exploitative systems that produce both.” —Victoria Law, author of Resistance Behind Bars: The Struggles of Incarcerated Women\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Harsha Walia's decades of visionary leadership in border abolition and migrant justice work, along with her relentless intellectual rigor, is apparent in this immensely important book, arriving right when we need it most. As governments lock down borders, mobilizations against policing reach new peaks, economic crisis worsens, and climate change accelerates, we desperately need this book if we hope to build a nuanced analysis of what we are facing and what kinds of transformation are necessary. Walia deftly exposes the inadequacy of liberal responses to the current crises, paving the way for a deeper understanding of the conditions we are facing and meaningful avenues for resistance. Walia's deeply researched, crystal clear text creates a robust toolbox for comprehending the current crises and assessing resistance strategies. This book is invaluable right now, a must-read for anyone working to dismantle prisons and borders, end poverty and war.” —Dean Spade, author of Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During this Crisis (and the Next) \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“As communities and social movements scramble to respond to the threat of a globalised far-right against the apocalyptic backdrop of a global pandemic and impending ecological disaster, Harsha Walia's Border and Rule reminds us of how we got here. With clinical precision, Walia unravels the genealogies and histories of border militarization, incarceration and imperialism, laying bare the webs of domination and exploitation that threaten the poor and vulnerable everywhere, from those incarcerated in Australia’s offshore immigration camps to the victims of drone warfare in Yemen. As we struggle with the cruel symptoms of a global disease - incarceration, exploitation, occupation, colonialism, environmental collapse - Walia picks this web apart, exposing the ways in which these crises interlock and overlap. It is a stark but necessary blueprint to understand. This book is also full of hope. It bears witness to the struggles of those who have survived and continue to resist in spite of merciless repression - the Indigenous, the enslaved, the exploited, the dispossessed and the undocumented. It is an urgent and revolutionary call to action that invites us to revisit the problem so that we may dream and fight harder for the world we want.” —Aamer Rahman, comedian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“We know that borders are violence. We know that violence numbs our collective imagination. We know that imagination is a muscle that must be exercised daily to prevent atrophy. This book is the workout. Border and Rule works us. With rigor, precision, and care, Harsha Walia pushes us beyond false solutions, rainbow imperialisms, and exclusionary projections. What a privilege to think with her, to build movement muscle for a world free of borders.” —Shailja Patel, author of Migritude\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Every once in a while there comes a book that makes you never see the world the same way again. Harsha Walia’s Border and Rule is such a book. Incisive and rigorously researched, Walia lays bare the border apparatus like no other: its bloody history based on colonial dispossession, Indigenous genocides, anti-Black enslavement, and its contemporary function of maintaining—with militarized enforcement of divisions—a racialized global system of subjugation and exploitation rife with criminal inequalities and ecological catastrophes. Border and Rule is the most important reframing of borders and their enforcement apparatus that I have ever read. It demonstrates that the border is not a passive wall but an expansive omnipresent regime, and that there is no \"border crisis\" but a displacement crisis. I will be turning to its pages again and again, not only for its analysis but also for its inspiration. Indeed, Walia strips borders of their pretense and justifications in such a powerful way, that after finishing the book it feels like we can tear down the walls, and all they represent, with our bare hands.” —Todd Miller, author of Empire of Borders: The Expansion of the U.S. Border Around the World\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Walia’s intervention is to demonstrate, systematically and across geographies, that there is no acceptable legitimation for border rule, unless your interest is in upholding global capital as the sovereign force determining life and livability on the planet.

Kids in cages, violent ICE raids, and anti-immigrant racist rhetoric characterize our political reality and are everyday shaping how people intersect at the US-Mexico border. As activist-scholar Justin Akers Chacón carefully demonstrates, however, this vicious model of capitalist transnationalization has also created its own grave-diggers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContemporary North American capitalism relies heavily on an inter-connected working class which extends across the border. Cross-border production and supply chains, logistics networks, and retail and service firms have aligned and fused a growing number of workers into one common class, whether they live in the US or Mexico. While money moves without restriction, the movement of displaced migrant workers across borders is restricted and punished. Transborder people face walls, armed agents, detention camps, and a growing regime of repressive laws that criminalize them. Despite the growth and violence of the police state dedicated to the repression of transborder populations—the migra-state—migrant workers have been at the forefront of class struggle in the United States.

Justin Akers Chacón makes the urgent case for a new internationalism, one that openly rejects the divisive, racist, and anti-worker politics upholding national borders. With a clear-eyed examination of how labor repression is the core of the migra-state, Chacón's call for cross-border—and anti-border—organizing is shown to be a necessary part of working class politics everywhere.” —Nandita Sharma, author of Home Rule: National Sovereignty and the Separation of Natives and Migrants\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This brilliant and timely book, The Border Crossed Us, lays bare the violent extortion and extraction of working-class migrant labor by untangling the hydra of the ‘North American Model’ of capitalist accumulation. Justin Akers Chacón's incisive temporal and geographic analysis of US capitalist imperialism sets the stage for the urgent and immediate mobilization within labor, migrant, and union organizing across borders. As a scholar activist, Justin Akers Chacón empowers us to sharpen our critique of the border paradox of open borders for capital and closed borders for people, and to finally dismantle and abolish the migra-state, from Free Trade Agreements to detention centers. Our communities depend on it.” —Leslie Quintanilla, Co-founder of the Center for Interdisciplinary Environmental Justice and Assistant Professor of Women and Gender Studies at San Francisco State University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The Border Crossed Us provides a salutary antidote to the stale debate about whether immigration harms the working class. The book offers a convincing and comprehensive account of how the ‘half-closed border’ between the United States and Mexico gives more power to employers and makes workers on both sides more exploitable. As US capital has inundated Mexico over the past century, increasing its hold on the Mexican economy in the era of free trade, the border has kept Mexican people impoverished and limited their rights and alternatives both at home and in the United States. This book cuts through the distorted nature of our current debates on immigration and makes the most coherent case I’ve seen for how opening the border will help all workers, on both sides, by giving them the right to organize and fight for a decent life. The border only serves to prevent workers from fighting effectively against capital that has long been transnational.” —Aviva Chomsky, author of Undocumented: How Immigration Became Illegal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This book captures the current political moment perfectly. It takes a look at the past and how we arrived at this point, and the crises that have harmed workers on both sides of the border. It also sheds light on the emerging worker movements that have arisen to overcome the ongoing efforts by capitalist industries to prevent or break grassroots and independent worker organizing. The question of open borders is one that we as workers have to ask ourselves. The borders are already open to finance, products, capital, and wealth, but remain closed for the people who create the wealth through our labor. Yet, it is more than just a labor issue. It is a human right to migrate, and to stay home as well. Our union congratulates Justin for writing a book that is asking the questions we have always had to contend with, while also discussing and proposing a better world for all workers.” —Edgar Franks, political director of independent, Washington State-based farmworker union, Familias Unidas por la Justicia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“In The Border Crossed Us, Justin Akers Chacón asks—and answers—the hard questions about how the corporate capitalist class has been using border militarization and violent immigration enforcement to squeeze every last bit of profit out of workers, casting aside their dignity and humanity along the way. Chacón does the necessary work of staring hard into the everyday reality of people trampled by the border machine. This is an essential addition to border studies, as convincing—of the need to open borders—as it is compelling.” —John Washington, author of The Dispossessed: A Story of Asylum at the US-Mexican Border and Beyond\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“If you want to understand why international borders are open for the corporate-class, while slammed shut for migrant workers, this excellent, incisive, thoroughly-researched, and thought-provoking book is for you. In The Border Crossed Us, Justin Akers Chacón addresses precisely what most discussions on open borders lack: how their enforcement is entrenched in capitalism and the free market system. He makes clear that there is no ‘security’ or ‘protection’ in militarized divisions, that borders need to be broken down for the sake of humanity’s collective wellbeing, and that it is a working-class, cross-border solidarity movement that can lead us to justice.” —Todd Miller, author of Empire of Borders: The Expansion of the US Border Around the World\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“[The] deadly contradiction of the capitalist trade infrastructure has been written about many times, especially its place in the relationship between Mexico and the United States.

How come, he asks, over 90% of residents of the country, brown or black, would not want to return to the days and years before the 1972 expulsion? The expulsion cannot just be understood as an event that occurred in 1972. He concludes, there is no one Asian legacy. There are several, and they are contradictory. Not all are legacies we would like to wipe out from our collective memories. Some we would like to build on; others we would like to reform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUganda Asians are a poor fit as victims. In a land known for sporadic massacres, there were no massacres of Asians. When massacres happened, they were of 'indigenous' people. Mamdani begins to explore the theme of political identity - the colonial politicisation of racial identity and its reproduction after independence - which has been the concern of much of his subsequent work, notably the groundbreaking Citizen and Subject. This gripping and highly readable story of the Asians' last days in Uganda interweaves the stories of Mamdani's friends and family with an examination of Uganda's colonial history and the subsequent evolution of post-independence politics. The British colonial policy of divide and rule ensured that race coincided with class, effectively politicising the category of race. This vivid autobiographical account is as pertinent now as when the book was first published in 1973 in its telling of a story that will be familiar to refugees and those seeking asylum in Britain today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"It is in his bittersweet and touching book on the Asian expulsion from Uganda that one can trace the beginnings of author and intellectual Mahmood Mamdani’s world-view.. … In From Citizen to Refugee: Uganda Asians Come to Britain Mamdani offers portraits of people reduced to a vegetative existence in refugee camps, feeling the burden of not being fluent in English and struggling with the uncomfortably cold weather. Not surprisingly, these few months played a pivotal role in shaping Mamdani’s theoretical and political leanings, and it is here that one can locate his preoccupation with the formation of racial, ethnic and class identities during the colonial era and his overarching concern with issues of citizenship.\" Bhakti Shringarpure, Associate Professor, University of Connecticut, Editor-in-chief, Warscapes, Founder, Radical Books Collective\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daraja Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41141340340317,"sku":"9781990263514","price":21.7,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0826\/1213\/files\/719Ui78zUwL.jpg?v=1694109447"},{"product_id":"hope-deferred-narratives-of-zimbabwean-lives","title":"Hope Deferred: Narratives of Zimbabwean Lives","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003e“\u003c\/i\u003eHope Deferred\u003ci\u003e might be the most important publication to have come out of Zimbabwe in the past thirty years.” \u003c\/i\u003eAlexandra Fuller,\u003ci\u003e Harper’s Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ci\u003eHope Deferred\u003c\/i\u003e asks the question: How did Zimbabwe, a country with so much promise—a stellar education system, a growing middle class, a sophisticated economic infrastructure, a liberal constitution, and an independent judiciary—come so close to collapse?

Drawing on more than seventy testimonials and twenty years of fieldwork spent accompanying Indigenous women activists, Blackwell focuses on how these activists navigate the blockages to their participation and transform exclusionary spaces into scales of resistance. Blackwell shows how activists in Mexico and those in the migrant stream that runs from Oaxaca into California redefined women’s roles in community decision-making. They did so by scaling down Indigenous autonomy to their own bodies, homes, and communities; grounding their political claims within Indigenous epistemologies and the gendered nature of social organization; and scaling up to regional, national, and continental contexts. This allowed them to place themselves at the heart of Indigenous resistance and autonomy, decolonizing gender hierarchies and creating new scales of participation.

Labour markets have been restructured to render labour more flexible and precarious, and in Canada as in other high-income capitalist labour markets, employers are relying on migrant and immigrant workers as “unfree labour.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book explores labour migration to Canada and how public policies of temporary and guest worker programs function in the global context of work and capitalist restructuring. Contributors are directly engaged with the issues emerging from the influx of temporary foreign workers and Canada’s “creeping economic apartheid”—the ongoing racialization of economic inequality for many workers of colour. The collection also examines how migrant and immigrant workers have organized for justice and dignity in Canada. As opposed to a good deal of current writing that often ignores the working conditions and struggles of racialized migrant and immigrant workers, the authors contend that migrant workers, labour organizations, and migrant worker allies have engaged in a wide range of organizing initiatives with significant political and economic impacts. These have included both court challenges to secure legal rights to unionization and grassroots alternatives to traditional forms of unionization through workers’ centres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContributors include Aziz Choudry, Adrian A.

They’ve produced an internationally important book. The specific stories resonate with a global narrative, in which workers in poorer countries are freed to bring their labour to serve the rich, and are then rendered permanently vulnerable through the collusion of employers, police and government agencies. This bitter liberty is, however, being fought: look for inspiration in the reflections by organizers on resisting racialized capitalism, and the victories they’ve achieved, far from the media’s gaze, in fields, factories, fast-food and homes.” Raj Patel, author of \u003cem\u003eThe Value of Nothing and Stuffed and Starved\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Analyzing the contemporary production of ‘unfree’ labour in Canada’s immigration and neoliberal economic policies, this book makes an excellent contribution to the fields of labour and migration studies.

Houda Asal breathes life into this migratory history and the people who made the journey, and examines the public, collective existence they created in Canada in order to understand both the identity Arabs have constructed for themselves here, and the identity that has been constructed for them by the Canadian state. Using archival research, media analysis, laws and statistics, and a series of interviews, Asal offers a thorough examination of the institutions these migrants and their descendants built, and the various ways they expressed their identity and organized their religious, social and political lives.

The largest human migration in history has fueled this rapid growth as people move from the countryside to work in China’s fast growing industrial cities. But China is changing. Today’s migrants from the countryside are a world apart from their fathers and grandfathers who made the same journeys to the metropolis in search of work decades before them. The older generation made the journey with every expectation of returning to the countryside once they had made some money. Todays generation, better educated and connected by technology, expects higher wages from working in cities than is the reality. These workers do not want to return home to work on the farm, so they frequently take employment that is precarious and poorly paid.

Despite the influx of Asian students and their inflated tuition rates to Canadian postsecondary institutions, they are strikingly underrepresented in the literature of the academy.

The fact that the vast majority of international students at Canadian colleges and universities come from Asia has been well documented in domestic media, but the lived experiences and perspectives of these transnational individuals have not.
