Ward Churchill Books

Focusing on the history of indigenous resistance in North America, this landmark work delves into the ongoing struggle for land rights among Native communities. It highlights key events, figures, and movements that have shaped the fight for sovereignty and justice, providing a comprehensive overview of the challenges faced by indigenous peoples. Through detailed analysis, the book emphasizes the resilience and determination of these communities in their quest to reclaim their heritage and rights.

Argues that while the ideology of nonviolent political action promises that the harsh realities of state power can be transcended through good feelings and purity of purpose, it is in fact a counter-revolutionary movement that defends and reinforces the same status-quo it claims to oppose. Churchill debunks the claims of historical pacifist victories, and proposes ways to diminish much of the delusion, aroma of racism, and sense of privilege which mark the covert self-defeatism of mainstream dissident politics. An important intervention, intended to generate badly-needed debate about the issue in the progressive community.
