Synopsis

Originally published in the 1980s, Settlers is a foundational text for understanding the history of anticapitalist and anticolonial movements in North America. It critically examines the deep-rooted connections between capitalism, white supremacy, and the formation of the United States. The book details how the nation's growth was predicated on the exploitation of Indigenous lands and Black labor, alongside the subjugation of other groups.
