ENGAGE by Joy James

A roadmap to dismantle the colonizer state

'This “counter-archive” is essential reading for those of us working in the university and inside institutions that help the state wage warThe students, faculty (bus drivers and librarians), cultural workers, parents, and organizers send us dispatches from their specific locations of struggle. The conversations—sometimes direct, sometimes oblique—are examples of how we talk to each other under institutional surveillance and subject to the reins of philanthropic funding. While the conversations are informed by histories of Black, Indigenous, and Afro-Indigenous struggle, they unfold in unexpected ways and in the real time of our perilous and shifting grounds. These are conversations to turn and return to'

-- Tiffany Lethabo King, author of The Black Shoals: Offshore Formations of Black and Native Studies

'A diverse collection of urgent dialogs on the past, present, and future of rebellious Indigenous and Black life in a world structured by genocide'

-- Orisanmi Burton, author of Tip of the Spear: Black Radicalism, Prison Repression, and the Long Attica Revolt

'Joy James has given us a gift. Community-engaged and dialogic, Engage brings us a powerful set of conversations that are rich with all the complexities entailed by diverse and yet intertwined histories of oppression and multiple visions for the future within and between these communities. A must-read for anyone concerned with Indigenous and Black liberation'

-- Shannon Speed, Director of American Indian Studies Center and Professor of Gender Studies and Anthropology, UCLA
