E-Books →No More Peace Abolition War and Counterrevolution

Through historical analysis, literary critique, and theory, Baker shows how Black and Indigenous rebels developed insights about counterrevolution precisely through their militant confrontation with it. Unearthing these critical insights, Baker shows how US capitalism was reproduced and expanded through the long history of white counterrevolution. Whiteness and settler colonialism developed as anti-Black and anti-Indigenous alliances formed across class difference to organize people to police or soldier for capitalism.
In No More Peace, we relive moments of radical abolition and anticolonialism-particularly those of Nat Turner, Harriet Tubman, John Brown, and the Seminoles-that also ruptured counterrevolution. Slavery and settler colonialism were always uncertain projects-vulnerable to defeat, collapse, and ruin by those who resisted. Racial capitalism was always contingent.
