SynopsisHere in this book, for the first time, is presented a selection of writings by revolutionary communist J. Sakai, spanning a 40 year period from 1983 to 2022., J. Sakai is one of North America's most insightful and challenging radical intellectuals, best-known for his work Settlers: Mythology of the White Proletariat, which remains the essential anti-racist labor history of the united states. Sakai work is grounded in Mao's politics, anti-imperialism, and in a lifetime of hands-on activism; he has consistently focused on the relationship between "race" and "class" in the american context, from a perspective dedicated to abolishing the united states, capitalism, and white supremacy. Beyond Settlers, however, Sakai has authored a number of other works, on subjects ranging from movement security, to the nature of the lumpen/proletariat, to the rise of the far right, and much more. Several of these have been published in book-form by Kersplebedeb, others as zines, while others have only ever appeared on the Internet. Here in this book, for the first time, is presented a selection of writings by Sakai spanning a 40 year period, from 1983 to 2022. This includes three articles initially written anonymously for the anti-imperialist journal S1, and an extensive interview that took place between 2020 and 2022, appearing here for the first time. The Shape of Things to Come: Selected Writings & Interviews is a weapons cache planted for people fighting for liberation in a world that is constantly becoming more dangerous. It provides tools and methodologies, examples both positive and negative, histories and insights, to help us to collectively struggle against a system that "as its most bottom-line autonomic reflex will rather arrange to kill us all than let us remake our lives communally."
