No More Peace: Abolition War and Counterrevolution
Oliver Baker
University of California Press
Racial capitalism is and was not inevitable. At every point in US history, the exploited and dispossessed rebelled for an alternative future.
In No More Peace, Baker highlights how numerous insurrections, revolts, and armed campaigns of enslaved and colonized people advanced abolition war as the movement to win collective life over class society in North America.
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.
