It examines settler life, labor struggles, and alliances, the contradictions between nation and class, and the role of slavery, genocide, and imperialist labor arrangements. Later sections connect industrial labor, the CIO, wartime order, neocolonial pacification, McCarthy-era repression, and the global plantation, culminating in strategies and tensions across class, culture, and community.","Table of Contents  \nAuthor ’s Note  \nIntroduction  \nI.
