Scars of Bondage: A First Study Of the Slave Colonail Experience of Africans in Guyana, by Tchaiko Kwayana and Eusi Kwayana
Banned and confiscated upon its initial publication in Guyana in 1973, this groundbreaking study of slavery by Tchaiko and Eusi Kwayana was eventually republished there twenty-five years later, but, until now, it has never been published in North America. In this remarkable work, the authors explore the social and economic violence visited upon Africans in Guyana from the period of enslavement to emancipation and the self-organized establishment of collectivized villages by Africans after emancipation—fourteen years before the Communist Manifesto was written!
This newly expanded 50th anniversary edition includes the complete original text, Eusi Kwayana’s afterword to the 1998 Guyana edition, a new foreword by Modibo Kadalie, and several appendices of insightful supplemental material, including an essay on the 1763 Berbice Revolution, two recent speeches by Eusi Kwayana, and a fascinating transcribed conversation between Eusi Kwayana and William C. Anderson.

Pan-African Social Ecology
by Modibo Kadalie
Modibo Kadalie has spent nearly six decades as an activist, organizer, teacher, and scholar in the ongoing struggle for Pan-African freedom. In this collection of interviews and public talks, he reflects on the sit-ins, boycotts, strikes, urban rebellions, and anticolonialist movements that have animated the late-twentieth and early-twenty-first centuries. Kadalie demonstrates how forms of directly democratic organizing that have evolved through these freedom struggles also present the promise of a ecological future. In so doing, he explains that direct democracy is the key to both Black liberation and ecological security. This concise, radical, and iconoclastic book calls on present and future generations of activists to reconnect with the spirit of these movements without lionizing individual leaders or lending legitimacy to any government or politician.

Intimate Direct Democracy
by Modibo Kadalie
Modibo Kadalie's newest book offers a critical reexamination of the history and historiography surrounding two sites of African maroonage in North America: The Great Dismal Swamp in Virginia and North Carolina; and Fort Mose in Florida. Kadalie's study of these sites offers a new lens of "intimate direct democracy," through which readers are invited to re-examine their notions of human social history and the true meaning of democracy.
