A Must Read for any white ally
This book is essential reading for anyone who is looking to support and help bring about the liberation of colonized peoples. It may be hard to digest, but is necessary for the development and understanding of Class and race when considering a contemporary setting. Don't just read Marx, start with the literature of colonized people, and this is a great primer.

North America's Foundation and Its Reverberation Through History
This book is the only proper and thorough allocation of the events that allowed colonialism to thrive in North America. It accurately portrays a class of European emigrants seeking to own land of their own, opportunistically using the free labor of Black, Brown, Red, and Yellow people to build and farm for them. It becomes increasingly evident that North America would not exist today if it weren't for the slaves it relied on. And this is only the first tenth of this piece. By accurately defining the foundation on which North America was built, using primary documentation, statistics, and many other reliable sources, J. Sakai depicts the continuation of Euro-American settler colonialism today.

A very good book for putting the relationship of working class whites and their solidarity (or lack there of ) the black masses from slavery to Jim Crow, and industrial society. The importance of this book can not be over stated to those who raise the banner of " Working Class Solidarity "As a Talisman for rectifying the myriad of issue that plague black communities across the country. A must have for any student of American race relations.

Critical read
While I disagree with the conclusion of the text, I think Sakai does a wonderful job of analyzing how the labor aristocracy benefits from the labor and exploitation of the poorest people internationally. Highly recommend everyone to read this critically at some point. Sakai is also hilarious, "United $nake$ of Amerikkka" is brilliant.

Extremely insightful and informative
It was a great read. I am not sure I agree with all the conclusion as a fellow proletariat militant but I do respect the work and the political line being developed.

An overlooked view of the impact of white supremacy in the history of the us. Read to get a fuller understanding of history. Not fake news.

Essential reading for anyone concerned about ending oppression and exploitation. Very challenging and I think too pessimistic but lays out a history that must be grappled with to prevent future betrayals and defeats.
