The show of international solidarity for the people of Oaxaca was the most extensive since the Zapatista uprising in 1994. Fueled by long ignored social contradictions, what began as a teachers' strike demanding more resources for education quickly turned into a massive movement that demanded direct, participatory democracy. Hundreds of thousands of Oaxacans raised their voices against the abuses of the state government. They participated in marches of up to 800,000 people, occupied government buildings, took over radio stations, called for statewide labor and hunger strikes, held sit-ins, reclaimed spaces for public art and created altars for assassinated activists in public spaces. In the now legendary March of Pots and Pans, two thousand women peacefully took over and operated the state television channel for three weeks. Barricades that were built all over the city to prevent the passage of paramilitaries and defend occupied public spaces, quickly became a place where neighbors got to know each other, shared ideas and developed new strategies for organizing. Despite the fierce repression that the movement faced—with hundreds arbitrarily detained, tortured, forced into hiding, or murdered by the state and federal forces and paramilitary death squads—people were determined to make their voices heard. \"Once you learn to speak, you don't want to be quiet anymore,\" an indigenous community radio activist said.

Here, he explores the history of holocaust and denial in this hemisphere, beginning with the arrival of Columbus and continuing on into the present. He frames the matter by examining both \"revisionist\" denial of the nazi-perpatrated Holocaust and the opposing claim of its exclusive \"uniqueness,\" using the full scope of what happened in Europe as a backdrop against which to demonstrate that genocide is precisely what has been-and still is-carried out against the American Indians. Churchill lays bare the means by which many of these realities have remained hidden, how public understanding of this most monstrous of crimes has been subverted not only by its perpetrators and their beneficiaries but by the institutions and individuals who perceive advantages in the confusion. In particular, he outlines the reasons underlying the United States's 40-year refusal to ratify the Genocide Convention, as well as the implications of the attempt to exempt itself from compliance when it finally offered its \"endorsement.\" In conclusion, Churchill proposes a more adequate and coherent definition of the crime as a basis for identifying, punishing, and preventing genocidal practices, wherever and whenever they occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAuthor: Ward Churchill\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eISBN: 0872863239\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSize: 531 pages\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: City Lights\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eYear: 1998\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"City Lights","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40175028437085,"sku":"9780872863231","price":27.93,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0826\/1213\/products\/large_310_littlematter3_0.jpg?v=1654986879"},{"product_id":"kill-the-indian-save-the-man-the-genocidal-impact-of-american-indian-residential-schools","title":"Kill the Indian, Save the Man: The Genocidal Impact of American Indian Residential Schools","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor five consecutive generations, from roughly 1880 to 1980, Native American children in the United States and Canada were forcibly taken from their families and relocated to residential schools.

Featuring a colour insert of protest poster art, this is the first anthology of its kind to bring scholars from many areas of the world together to discuss and debate the meaning and impact of these vastly transformative years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat People Are Saying\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“\u003cem\u003eNew World Coming\u003c\/em\u003e is a powerful contribution to the meaning of the sixties for today.

Weaponizing Anthropology details the rapid militarization of anthropology and incursions by the CIA and other intelligence agencies onto American university campuses. Price combines his expert knowledge of the history of anthropologists' collaborations with military and intelligence agencies with an activist stance opposing current efforts to weaponize anthropology in global counterinsurgency campaigns.

Now, by matching an extraordinary command of the sources to a telling sensitivity to the political and intellectual consequences, he demonstrates inthis definitive work that weaponizing anthropology is as damaging to the soul of the nation as it is to the integrity of the science\" —Marshall Sahlins, University of Chicago \"David Price once again proves that he is one of America's most important engaged scholars and insightful public intellectuals. Weaponizing Anthropology is a brilliant analysis of not only how the social sciences are increasingly becoming an integral part of the warfare state but also how knowledge and culture are subject to new modes of militarization, organized in multiple new ways for the production of state violence. This may be one of the most important books written inthe last few decades on the merging of the military and intelligence agencies with the academy. Beautifully written and rigorously argued, Weaponizing Anthropology is a must read for students, educators, and anyone else concerned about the fate of the academy, the corruption of anthropology, the militarization of politics, and the future of democracy.\" —Henry Giroux, McMaster Univeristy, author of University in Chains: Confronting the Military-Industrial-Academic Complex \"Just about any undergraduate anthropology course is likely to begin with a ritual denunciation of early anthropology as a colonialist project, implying that anything written before, say, 1970 was hopelessly corrupted by its entanglement in racism, imperialism, and genocide. It's always said in such a way so as imply that obviously, this is no longer the case. This excellent, timely, and beautifully researched work demonstrates just how wrong and self-serving this standard account really is. Anthropology was always a field of political struggle between servants and opponents of imperialism and it still is—with much of our funding, employment, and research direction still coming directly from the CIA and US military. No one genuinely concerned with the integrity of the discipline can afford to ignore this important book.\" —David Graeber, Goldsmiths, University of London, author of Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology \"[David Price is] the foremost authority on the ways in which anthropology has been used by the military.\" —Jeremy Keenan, Times Higher Education Supplement “A clarity of political principle has motivated David Price's work over the past twenty years. Price has been a determined—if sometimes lonely—voice highlighting the risks of anthropological collaboration, both covert and overt, with military and intelligence agencies. Price is partially motivated by frustration at what he sees as the silences surrounding military involvements, and how a lack of institutional and disciplinary memory has political consequences, most vividly seen in the increasingly open role played by anthropologists in combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.” —David Mills, University of Oxford.

He maps in topographic detail how deeply the CIA and other intelligence agencies have infiltrated American campuses, recruiting students, administrators and academics to work for the dark side.

Here is the editors' introduction to this issue:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWelcome to the first issue of \u003cem\u003eUpping the Anti\u003c\/em\u003e. We have been working on bringing you this issue since September of 2004. We have been torn between the desire to get something out according to our original timeline (February of 2005) in order to establish the journal as a timely and viable project, and our wish to produce the most politically relevant publication that we can. In this, our first issue of the journal, we feel that we have done our best to strike an appropriate balance between these two objectives. So here is Upping the Anti, our first effort in an ongoing project of trying to engage with and understand the political conjuncture facing radical activists in the Canadian state today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn every issue of the journal, we begin with an editorial in which we try to work out a collective perspective on pressing issues of the day. In this, our first editorial, we outline the impetus for the project, and reflect upon the strengths and limitations of such concepts as anti-capitalism, anti-oppression, and anti-imperialism in building new radical movements in Canada and internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe are very pleased to bring you two important interviews that we think will have relevance for activists seeking to understand past, present and future struggles. Grace Lee Boggs is a social justice activist who for the past six decades has paired tireless community organizing with a long-term commitment to reassessing and renewing radical ideas. She has worked with political figures such as Malcolm X, Kwame Nkrumah, CLR James, and Jimmy Boggs, as well as taking part in the civil rights and Black liberation movements. Our second interview is with Ward Churchill, an indigenous scholar and activist who is today the subject of a massive attack on academic freedom by neo-conservative forces in the United States. Churchill has tirelessly chronicled state repression and genocide in the Americas and brings an important perspective for people thinking about radical social change. We bring you an interview we did with him two years ago in which he speaks about the anti-globalization movement and the potential for effective resistance to the war at home and abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the first of three essays in this issue of the journal, Gary Kinsman provides an introduction to autonomist Marxism and outlines how this current provides useful political tools for understanding and conceptualizing strategies of revolutionary change based on working class self-emancipation. In our next essay, Chris Hurl chronicles the development of the radical anti-capitalist wing of the anti-globalization movement and critically examines the concept of “diversity of tactics” as an approach to organizing. Finally, we reprint an essay by socialist feminist \u003ca data-lwsa=\"eyJhdXRvbGluayI6dHJ1ZSwiYXV0b19pZCI6IjkwMjMifQ==\" href=\"https:\/\/leftwingbooks.net\/collections\/all\/selma-james\" title=\"Selma James\"\u003eSelma James\u003c\/a\u003e, written some 30 years ago, that remains an important contribution to discussions taking place today around the intersections of race, gender and class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis issue also launches the first of a series of roundtable discussions with activists on specific issues of concern to radical movements. Sharmeen Khan brings together Gary Kinsman, Kirat Kaur, and Junie Désil to discuss the politics of “anti-oppression,” while Aidan Conway draws together a series of interviews on the “organizational question” with Robbie Mahood, Indu Viashistink, and Jeff Shantz who offer reflections from different Marxist and anarchist communist perspectives. In our next issue we look forward to bringing you other similar discussion forums looking at anti-war organizing, Palestinian solidarity activism, and advocacy and activism in defense of immigrants and refugees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe close with reviews of two important books, Judith Butler’s \u003cem\u003eUndoing Gender,\u003c\/em\u003e and Michael Hardt’s and Antonio Negri’s \u003cem\u003eMultitude\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cem\u003eUndoing Gender \u003c\/em\u003eis an important political contribution to debates and discussions taking place within the feminist and transgender movements, while Multitude is Hardt and Negri’s follow-up to their influential and controversial book Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe should stress that our approach to the project has not been to produce any kind of “party line” on the questions facing radical activists today. Instead, we see Upping the Anti as a space to discuss ideas currently being expressed and elaborated in contemporary social movements. In particular we want to explore what we see as emancipatory Marxist and anarchist contributions firmly grounded in feminist and anti-racist politics. In so doing, we are aware that a wide range of contrasting and even contradictory political ideas and approaches will be put forward in the pages of this journal. For example, in our interviews with Ward Churchill and Grace Lee Boggs, it is clear that there are a wide range of political questions upon which these two activists are divided, and we have our own disagreements with some of their perspectives. We do not share Grace’s enthusiasm for the potential of a revitalized wing of the Democratic Party in the US under the leadership of Dennis Kucinich, and we are skeptical of a number of Ward’s formulations regarding the nature of the revolutionary project in North America. However, we offer these divergent political opinions in the spirit of opening up principled discussion and debate on the radical left. We encourage you to write us letters, polemics and articles engaging with points of view that you find provocative, and to make a contribution to these debates. Our goal is to create a lively and non-sectarian forum for debate and a tool that can be appropriated and effectively used by those interested in rethinking how we organize and build effective radical movements for social change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn closing, we would like to thank all the members of our advisory board who have assisted us in the production of this first issue of the journal.

We would like to start by letting you know that we have made new additions to the editorial staff of our journal. Erin Gray of Toronto has joined our editorial collective, and Dave Mitchell of Regina has joined us in the capacity of reviews editor. We are excited to have our project grow and develop, and in this issue we again provide you with a collection of writings addressing a wide variety of issues and debates concerning activists on the left in Canada. We begin this issue with responses from a number of readers to our first issue. We welcome this kind of feedback and encourage you to join in the discussions and respond to the contributions of others in the pages of \u003cem\u003eUpping the Anti\u003c\/em\u003e by email or regular mail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur editorial, the space in which we try to develop a common political perspective for the journal, takes up the question of the politics of “anti-oppression” within the Canadian context, and outlines some of our thoughts on the historical development of this perspective. In our next two issues we will take up and examine the politics of “anti-capitalism” and “anti-imperialism” as part of our project of critiquing and developing our analysis of what we call the “three antis.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this issue we run three different sets of interviews with radical theorists and organizers. We talk about questions of class and power with Himani Bannerji, a Marxist and anti-racist feminist who has made important contributions to understanding and transforming the way we look at problems of oppression and domination. We also conclude our interview with Grace Lee Boggs, a Detroit community activist who talks about her experiences of organizing over the past six decades, her experience of figures such as Jimmy Boggs and CLR James, and her reflections of a lifetime of building political organizations. Our third interview concerns one of the most important education sector struggles to have occurred over the past several years in North America—the two hundred thousand strong strike by college and university students in Québec in the spring of 2005. We speak to Nicolas Phebus, a member of the Northeastern Federation of Anarchist Communists, who shares his analysis of this important struggle in Québec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe article section begins with a piece by Tom Keefer in which he looks at the genealogy of “socialism from below,” and questions its usefulness in contributing to the renewal of socialist politics today. Taiaiake Alfred and Lana Lowe provide an outline of the historical and contemporary nature and role of indigenous warrior societies in First Nations communities and struggles in the Canadian context. We continue with a series of roundtables that bring together various activists struggling in a number of important campaigns. Mordecai Briemberg, Paul Burrows, Rafeef Ziadah, Adam Hanieh and Samer Elatrash explore the problems and opportunities confronting Palestinian solidarity activism today; Chris Arsenault, Mike DesRoches, Derrick O’Keefe, Andrea Schmidt, George ‘Mick’ Sweetman, Honor Brabazon \u0026amp; Jessie X. discuss their experiences of the Canadian antiwar movement; and Sarita Ahooja, Sima Zerehi and \u003ca data-lwsa=\"eyJhdXRvbGluayI6dHJ1ZSwiYXV0b19pZCI6IjkzNTkifQ==\" href=\"https:\/\/leftwingbooks.net\/collections\/all\/harsha-walia\" title=\"Harsha Walia\"\u003eHarsha Walia\u003c\/a\u003e talk about the state of immigrant and refugee solidarity activism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe final section of the journal consists of a series of reviews put together by our book reviews editor Dave Mitchell. Adrian Harewood assesses \u003cem\u003eA View for Freedom: Alfie Roberts Speaks\u003c\/em\u003e, an interview with the late Alfie Roberts, a remarkable activist and organizer in the Montréal area. Kirat Kaur reviews Judy Rebick’s latest book \u003cem\u003eTen Thousand Roses: The Making of a Feminist Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e and discusses the strengths and weaknesses of Rebick’s understanding of the Canadian feminist movement.

Finally, Tyler McCreary reviews J. Sakai’s classic \u003cem\u003eSettlers: the Myth of the White Proletariat \u003c\/em\u003eand kicks off what we hope will be an ongoing debate on the relevance of Sakai’s analysis to understanding the relationship of race and class in North America today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, we can’t finish talking about this issue of our journal without thanking our advisory board members and all the other people that made the first issue of \u003cem\u003eUpping the Anti\u003c\/em\u003e a success, and who have ensured the continuing viability of this project. To date we have sold over 700 copies of our first issue and recouped our initial publishing and mailing costs. Our many distributors ensured that hard copies of \u003cem\u003eUpping the Anti\u003c\/em\u003e were available in every province and in over 30 different Canadian cities as well as reaching countries as far away as Australia, Argentina, Cuba, England, France, Norway, Germany, India, Kenya, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Spain, and Venezuela. Copies of the journal were also distributed to several US-based political prisoners and prisoners of war, and we also take this opportunity to extend our greetings of solidarity to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith evidence in hand that a project such as ours can be financially sustainable and politically relevant, we are reprinting 1000 copies of our first issue and publishing this second issue in a perfect bound format with a print run of 2000 copies. As we prepare the third issue of the journal for publication in the spring of 2006 we welcome further assistance in helping to distribute the second issue of the journal even more widely than the first. To this end, we have put up a web page with an up to date list of local distributors from whom you can get hard copies of the journal. If you are interested in joining this list of distributors please e-mail us at uta_distro@yahoo.ca to make arrangements and to receive discounted bulk copies of the journal. We are also open to running exchange advertisements with other radical publications and catalogs.

After all the usual hard work and delays, we’re happy to once again present these pages. As always, our content is devoted to discussing both the successes and shortcomings of contemporary movements for social change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe kick off this issue with a series of exchanges in the Letters section, where readers respond to content from \u003cem\u003eUpping The Anti\u003c\/em\u003e 2. We’re pleased that UTA is generating these kinds of engaging debates, and we encourage readers to write us with their thoughts and perspectives on the articles and interviews we print. Stay tuned for our online discussion board accessible from the Autonomy and Solidarity website: http:\/\/auto_sol.tao.ca.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this issue, our editorial tries to assess the difficult space in which the North American anti-war movement presently finds itself. Despite the fact that, now more than ever, a massive antiwar movement with strong anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist tendencies is needed, the Canadian anti-war movement has not been able to deliver the goods. We attempt to analyze why anti-war organizers have overlooked the positive contributions of the antiglobalization movement and conclude by suggesting that the way forward lies in transcending the antithetical terms of our present struggles, where small direct actions stand in opposition to larger but depoliticized single day protests against the war. While we know that it’s impossible to resolve this dialectic on paper, we offer up the editorial in the hope of sharpening the terms of debate. Nothing would make us happier than to see others throw their hats into the ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis issue also contains two interviews, both with renowned scholar-activists. The interview with Aijaz Ahmad addresses fundamental questions of revolution and organization, and reflects on the complexities of Islamic and anti-imperialist movements in Asia and the Middle East. William Robinson discusses Latin American resistance to neoliberalism in the changing context of global capitalism and considers how these movements are relating to the state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our articles section, AK Thompson critically engages the arguments of Richard Day’s \u003cem\u003eGramsci is Dead: Anarchist Currents in the Newest Social Movements\u003c\/em\u003e and discusses whether or not the orientation to “affinity” expressed by the newest social movements is adequate to the task of making meaningful social change. Following Thompson’s piece, Isabel MacDonald writes on Canadian complicity in the occupation of Haiti, outlining both the horrific oppression visited upon the Haitian people and the difficulties faced by the solidarity movement in support of Haiti. Subsequently, RJ Maccani investigates the Zapatista experience and outlines the lessons to be drawn north of the Rio Grande amidst Mexico’s changing political terrain. As in the interview section, Maccani’s piece engages the question of the relationship between anti-capitalist movements and the state. Our final article finds Jen Plyler writing about the need for sustainable movements to develop supportive conditions that can help organizers to ‘keep on keeping on.’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur roundtable section is devoted entirely to the struggle of the Six Nations people of the Grand River territory – one of the most important indigenous social movements taking place in Canada today. While currently focusing on the reclamation of a suburban housing estate, the struggle highlights larger issues of political sovereignty and settler colonialism. Tom Keefer provides an overview and background to the situation, while in the roundtable, participants focus on the role of non-native solidarity activists in supporting this indigenous movement. We interview Brian Skye, a member of the Cayuga nation who has been very active at the site, on his perspectives on solidarity organizing. We also interview Jan Watson, a non-native Caledonia, Ontario resident who has been centrally involved in organizing against racism directed against the people of Six Nations. The roundtable concludes with reflections by AJ Withers, Josh Zucker and Stefanie Gude, focusing on the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty’s role in supporting the Six Nations struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the reviews section, Scott Neigh reflects on the connections between activism and research explored in \u003cem\u003eSociology for Changing the World: Social Movements\/Social Research,\u003c\/em\u003e edited by Caelie Frampton et al. Yutaka Dirk considers Dan Bergers’s assessment of the \u003cem\u003eWeather Underground: Outlaws of America\u003c\/em\u003e and Sharmeen Khan interrogates the white anti-racism of Inga Muscio’s \u003cem\u003eAutobiography of a Blue-Eyed Devil: My Life and Times in a Racist, Imperialist Society.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe would like to take this opportunity to encourage our supporters to contribute financially to help us continue this project. Our journal is entirely “independent.” For those of you not keeping up with contemporary euphemisms, “independent” means we have no money. Basically, we’re broke. So, if you like what we do and would like us to keep on doing it, you should consider making a financial donation to the project. That way, you can be independent, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith your help, we hope to publish \u003cem\u003eUpping the Anti\u003c\/em\u003e twice a year. A one year subscription to the journal is $20, a two year subscription is $35, and back issues of Volumes 1 and 2 are available for $10 each. We especially encourage those who are financially endowed (like the professionals who feel sorry for us, the class traitors who envy us, and the organizations dying to keep it real) to consider purchasing a lifetime subscription to the journal for $250. This lifetime subscription (your life or ours – whichever expires first!) entitles you to all back and future issues of \u003cem\u003eUpping the Anti,\u003c\/em\u003e along with other non journal materials, including pamphlets and DVDs that are currently in the works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe need other kinds of help, too.

Of our seven editors, five were on strike for 85 days between November and February with the membership of CUPE Local 3903 at York University in Toronto. Fighting precarious work and the neoliberal university, we weathered an unmovable administration before being legislated back to work by the provincial government. This exhilarating but exhausting midwinter, three-month strike threatened to delay our production aims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNevertheless, as this issue came together, the editorial process revitalized our spirits, focused our goals and compelled us to publish something useful for future struggles. In our editorial, we engage with the challenges and opportunities that arise from the global economic crisis and the election of Barack Obama. Calling attention to the ways that politicians and economists are drawing on myth to reinvigorate capitalism, we consider the enduring question of hegemony. After evaluating some of the different orientations that today’s radicals adopt when approaching this question, we outline how the left might use myths to help constitute a broader collective and radical “we.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs always, we begin this issue with letters from our readers. Heather Hax and etienne turpin revisit the question of catastrophe in their responses to our last editorial (UTA 7). Reflecting on our interview with sex worker and organizer Kara Gillies, Simone Skye highlights the importance of adopting a labour perspective on sex work. Melissa Elliot responds to Tom Keefer’s article from last issue and offers a perspective on how non-native activists should relate to indigenous struggles. Finally, Greg Flemming responds to Neil Balan’s review of Žižek’s \u003cem\u003eDefense of Lost Causes\u003c\/em\u003e and Balan responds to Flemming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our interviews section, Aidan Conway talks with leading Marxist thinkers David McNally, Leo Panitch, and Sam Gindin about their perspectives on the current economic crisis.

In our final interview, Chris Dixon interviews Montreal-based organizer Helen Hudson as part of his ongoing project to record the experiences and insights of anti-authoritarian organizers in Canada and the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLong-time Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP) organizer John Clarke begins our articles section with an assessment of the challenges of anti-poverty organizing and movement building during the economic crisis. Next, anti-Israeli apartheid activist Shourideh Molavi assesses the terrain for Palestine solidarity organizing in the wake of Israel’s attack on Gaza. Finally, solidarity activist Shiri Pasternak reports on the ongoing struggles of the Algonquins of Barriere Lake (ABL).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur first roundtable discussion finds members of the Student Liberation Action Movement (SLAM) revisiting their organizing experiences in the 1990s at New York City’s Hunter College. Our second roundtable explores the merits of study groups in radical left organizing and features participants from the LA Crew, Another Politics is Possible, the Activist Study Circles, and the New York Study Group.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKaty Rose begins our book reviews section with an investigation of \u003cem\u003eAsian Settler Colonialism\u003c\/em\u003e (U of Hawai’i Press), an edited collection in which authors explore the complicated colonial dynamics between “locals” and the native population of Hawai’i.

We would like to thank former editor Nicole Cohen for her significant contributions to the journal and are pleased that she remains an active Advisory Board member. Since 2005, we have published two journals each year, hosted public forums, and maintained an ongoing and improving web presence. We have done this with an all-volunteer collective of editors and advisory board members. Nevertheless, producing a journal is expensive and \u003cem\u003eUpping the Anti\u003c\/em\u003e is only made possible through your support. If you have not done so already, please consider subscribing to \u003cem\u003eUpping the Anti\u003c\/em\u003e. After all, nothing beats receiving mail! We are happy to announce that we now have a sustainer’s program whereby you can make monthly donations to the journal to ensure that we are able to continue publishing. Visit us online to get a subscription or to make a donation. All donations go directly to the production of the journal.

Here is the editors' introduction to this issue:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe can hardly believe it, but we’ve done it again. Welcome to the ninth issue of Upping the Anti, our latest contribution to the world of independent radical publishing. As soon as we’re done with one issue, another is in the works, and as usual, the challenges of producing a 200 page book twice a year are substantial. Independent publishing is precarious at the best of times, and because we’ve aimed big – by printing a journal with a circulation of 2,500 and cultivating distribution networks across the continent and beyond – we are no exception to the rule that radical publications need consistent and ongoing support from their readership. We have some new ideas about how to do that, but first let us update you on our changing editorial committee and the new issue. Founding editor Sharmeen Khan has reluctantly turned in her red pen and moved to the UTA advisory board, as has Erika Biddle.We thank both of them for their important contributions to the project. Editor AK Thompson has been on a leave of absence to complete his dissertation, and the work of getting this issue out has been greatly aided by the work of new editors David Hugill, Chandra Kumar, and Danielle O’Hearn. We also welcome Robyn Letson to our advisory board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs always, we begin this issue with interventions from our readers which support, challenge or complete content from past issues. We’re always soliciting feedback and critical dialogue in our pages so drop us a line if you’ve got some thoughts about issue nine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our interviews section, Kelly Fritsch talks with disability, queer and trans activist, Eli Clare. Sharmeen Khan and Natalie Kouri-Towe interview leading scholar Sherene Razack about her book Casting Out: The Eviction of Muslims from Western Law and Politics (University of Toronto Press).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our first article, Palestine solidarity activist Ben Saifer analyses the emergence and assesses the implications of Zionist-initiated “dialogue” efforts on Canadian university campuses. Next, Kate Milley examines the organization of anti-native activism in response to the struggles of the Six Nations people on the Haldimand tract, revealing the broader, deeply entrenched racism and colonial logic of Canadian society. Finally, Chris Hurl and Kevin Walby untangle common assumptions about student movement politics in their historical analysis of The Canadian Union of Students from 1965-1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur roundtables section begins with a tenth anniversary reflection on the mass mobilization against the World Trade Organization in Seattle in 1999. Contributors offer retrospective analyses of this pivotal moment of the anti-globalization movement. The second roundtable discussion addresses anti-Olympic organizing. We hear from activists preparing for the upcoming mobilizations against the Vancouver 2010 games, and from those who organized against the games in Salt Lake City, Turin, and Sydney.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book reviews section features Sean Benjamin’s review of Black Flame: The Revolutionary Class Politics of Anarchism and Syndicalism (AK Press), and Jeff Shantz’s review of The Red Army Faction, A Documentary History, Volume 1: Projectiles for the People (PM Press).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe hope you find Upping the Anti useful in your organizing work and research. If so, please support us as we face significant financial need. Very few radical publications are able to survive on subscriptions and sales alone and UTA has consciously chosen not to become dependent on government subsidies, grants, or foundation funding. To keep the journal affordable and truly independent, we need the support of our readers. If you have the means to help, we encourage you to join our online sustainers program. The wonders of the internet make it easy to support your most trusted projects; please go to http:\/\/uppingtheanti.org and become a monthly sustainer. We aim to have 100 sustainers by the end of 2009. If we succeed, we’ll have the financial security necessary to allow us to focus less on fundraising and more on bringing you the radical debate that is at the core of our effort. And if you’ve put off subscribing, wait no longer. Finally, we are always interested in connecting with activists who would like to distribute the journal. Bulk discounts are available, and if you feel like you could distribute 10 or more copies of each issue, please get in touch with us at uppingtheantidistro@gmail.com.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe are also happy to announce the launch of our new website thanks to the wonderful help of Christopher Dobbie.

Even in the Bay Area that was the custom and law back then. It had started years earlier for me in high school in L.A.'s 1950's San Fernando Valley. Where as the lone uneducated leftist i had tried unsuccessfully to sell copies of the socialist labor party newspaper (the only one i could get) every week to my classmates. At the same time was working as an Asian houseboy for the family of a Jewish used car dealer (stereotypes abound for a reason). Was fired for taking a night off for my own high school graduation. The wife lost it and screamed, \" People like you don't need graduations!\" A month later was living in a different state to find a job and avoid the \"colored\" military draft.

Which i naively thought would only be a quick movement paper. Eight years later what became re-titled as \u003cem\u003eSettlers\u003c\/em\u003e was finished. Even then i didn't believe there was any audience for it, and planned to only photocopy fifty copies of my typed draft for internal education in the underground black liberation army coordinating committee. Comrades with more sense than myself insisted that we publish it as a book if only for the liberation movement.

His involvement with the Black Civil Rights Movement began on his first day in the organized left, when he met James Farmer of the Congress of Racial Equality, later the organizer of the freedom rides of the early 60s. He was active in the mid 1950s with Bayard Rustin, later the organizer of Martin Luther King's 1963 I have a dream March on Washington. He was arrested three times during civil rights sit-ins in the San Francisco Bay Area. He spent thirty-nine months in prison when a court revoked his probation for marijuana possession, because of his activities during the 1964 Berkeley Free Speech Movement at the University of California. Immediately on imprisonment, he spent four days in intense discussion with Huey Newton, later the founder of the Black Panther Party, who he encountered in the court holding tank. Subsequently, upon his release in 1968, he worked with Kathy Cleaver and other Panthers. Brenner was an antiwar activist from the first days of the Vietnam war, speaking frequently at rallies in the Bay Area. In 1963 he organized the Committee for Narcotic Reform in Berkeley. In 1968 he co-founded the National Association for Irish Justice, the American affiliate of the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association. He worked with Kwame Ture (also known as Stokely Carmichael), the legendary Black Power leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, in the Committee against Zionism and Racism, from 1985 until Ture's death in 1998. Brenner is the author of four books: Zionism in the Age of the Dictators (1983), The Iron Wall: Zionist Revisionism from Jabotinsky to Shamir (1984), Jews in America Today (1986), and The Lesser Evil (1988), a history of the Democratic Party. In 2002 he edited 51 Documents: Zionist Collaboration with the Nazis, which contains complete translations of many of the documents quoted in Zionism in the Age of the Dictators and The Iron Wall. In 2004 he edited Jefferson \u0026amp; Madison On Separation of Church and State: Writings on Religion and Secularism. His books have been favorably reviewed in eleven languages by prominent publications, including the London Times, the London Review of Books, Moscow's Izvestia and the Jerusalem Post. Brenner has written over one-hundred articles for many publications, including New York's Amsterdam News, the Anderson Valley Advertiser, The Atlanta Constitution, CounterPunch, The Jewish Guardian, The Nation, The Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, Middle East Policy, Middle East International, The Journal of Palestine Studies, The New Statesman of London, Al-Fajr in Jerusalem, and Dublin's United Irishman. In 2013, Brenner co-authored (with Matthew Quest) Black Liberation and Palestine Solidarity, a collection of selected essays discussing the historical response of African American freedom movements to the colonial settler state of Israel and its role in American imperialism in the Middle East.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eAuthor: Lenni Brenner\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eISBN: 978-0985890995\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eSize: 346 pages\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePublisher: On Our Own Authority!\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eYear: 2014\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"On Our Own Authority!","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40175169142877,"sku":"9780985890995","price":30.8,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0826\/1213\/products\/zionismageofdictators.jpg?v=1654987758"},{"product_id":"waging-peace-global-adventures-of-a-lifelong-activist","title":"Waging Peace: Global Adventures of a Lifelong Activist","description":"\u003cp\u003eDavid Hartsough knows how to get in the way.

Though many people were targeted, the coercive sterilization of one group has gone largely unnoticed. An Act of Genocide unpacks long-buried archival evidence to begin documenting the forced sterilization of Aboriginal women in Canada. Grounding this evidence within the context of colonialism, the oppression of women and the denial of Indigenous sovereignty, Karen Stote argues that this coercive sterilization must be considered in relation to the larger goals of Indian policy — to gain access to Indigenous lands and resources while reducing the numbers of those to whom the federal government has obligations. Stote also contends that, in accordance with the original meaning of the term, this sterilization should be understood as an act of genocide, and she explores the ways Canada has managed to avoid this charge.
