It's amazing how a short anthology published in 2015 identifies & the White Fragility Industrial Complex and the Ally Industrial Complex as counterinsurgencies that stymie revolt.
In trenchant, brief, & unapologetic essays, this book snatches the terrain of struggle away from the impoverished political imaginations of liberalism & demands rigorous anti-colonial, anti-imperial solidarities against the world as is.

Completely necessary and wonderful collection of essays. It’s been called a guide book for activists (especially white activists) that care about social justice. I think it made me understand what it means to organize, and actually make things happen with activism. Most of the articles are free online, but the book is only 12-13 dollars and I think it’s nice to have them all together. Amazing, and I would love to support this publisher more!

This book is a conversation (and a plea, and a statement) about our role as organizers, community members, allies, and accomplices. It describes the reality of the diverse tactics of radical organizing across Turtle Island, and inspires a vision of what our future could be. Excellent book for 2020 and beyond. Highly recommend.

a collection of deeply powerful essays that challenge, inspire, hearten and dishearten, empower, check, etc. took me a little bit to get my footing as some of the language does get a bit heady/academic, but once i was in, i was IN. highly recommend, especially for us white folx doing / interested in doing social justice work.
