Historian, activist, and author Tariq Khan's new book bridges the divide between indigenous studies, working class history, and histories of state power and anti-left repression. The book traces how tactics developed in the US "Indian Wars" targeting collective resistance to US conquest and expansion in the west were redeployed against working class radicals and the labor movement in the late 19th century. In our own moment of settler colonial genocide and anti-left repression the book could not be more timely. He is joined in conversation by Michael Beyea Reagan
