This image is taken from ‘500 Years Of Indigenous Resistance’ by Gord Hill.

“Ten years after it was originally published in the first revolutionary Indigenous newspaper OH-TOH-KIN (1992), 500 Years of Indigenous Resistance remains an important and relevant history of the colonization of the Americas and the resistance to it. It begins with the arrival of Columbus and finishes with the resistance struggles that defined the early nineties; the Lubicons, the Mohawks, and the Campaign For 500 Years Of Resistance that occurred all over the Americas, and was a historical precursor to the well-known Zapatista uprising of 1994.” - From the Foreword.

Of course we sell it at the store (not online).

Click Here for a full pdf of “Vietnam and the Dynamics of Guerrilla Warfare” by Eric Hobsbawm written in 1965.

As with almost anything Hobsbawm wrote this article is perpetually prophetic. Forget any comparisons of the US in Vietnam to the French in Algeria, the real genius of the article lies in Hobsbawm’s analysis of the nature of guerrilla warfare in a modern world.

“The risk is that the United States will slide into nuclear
war rather than face reality”

This article appears in “Revolutionaries”, a collection of essays and artiles by Eric Hobsbawm.

Also, the store will close for Thanksgiving on Wednesday the 21st and return to regular hours next Tuesday, the 27th.

Have a safe holiday and don’t forget what Utah Phillips said, “The long memory is the most radical idea in America.”

The most well read hooligans I know passed through the store yesterday. Shaun was taking pictures.
