description: J. Sakai is one of North Americas 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 Maos 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 &amp; 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 bottomline autonomic reflex will rather arrange to kill us all than let us remake our lives communally.
