On how Colonialism really IS the SOCIETY of America. This new edition includes a new essay and an interview with author J. Sakai, the United States has been built on the theft of Indigenous lands and of Afrikan labor, on the robbery of the northern third of Mexico, the colonization of Puerto Rico, and the expropriation of the Asian working class, with each of these crimes being accompanied by violence. Always controversial within the establishment left, Settlers uncovers centuries of collaboration between capitalism and white workers and their organizations, as well as their neocolonial allies, showing how the United States was designed from the ground up as a parasitic and genocidal entity. Written by activists with decades of experience organizing in grassroots anticapitalist struggles against white supremacy, the book established itself as an essential reference point for revolutionary nationalists and dissident currents within the Marxist-Leninist and anarchist movements. A uniquely important book in the canon of the North American revolutionary left and anticolonial movements, Settlers was first published in the 1980s. ![]() ![]() ![]() Interweaving her own first-hand experiences in the field with the compelling research of premier scientists, Goodall illuminates the heroic efforts of dedicated environmentalists and the truly critical need to protect the habitats of these beloved species.Īt once a celebration of the animal kingdom and a passionate call to arms, Hope for Animals and Their World presents an uplifting, hopeful message for the future of animal-human coexistence.

Love, though it is no prophylactic against depression, is what cushions the mind and protects it from itself. It is the aloneness within us made manifest, and it destroys not only connection to others but also the ability to be peacefully alone with oneself. When it comes, it degrades one's self and ultimately eclipses the capacity to give or receive affection. To be creatures who love, we must be creatures who can despair at what we lose, and depression is the mechanism of that despair. Solomon opens the book with his own highly personal thesis about the nature of depression: “Depression is the flaw in love. The Noonday Demon won the 2001 National Book Award and was a finalist for the 2002 Pulitzer Prize.
