Sakai is one of North America's most insightful and challenging radical intellectuals, best-known for his work \u003cem\u003eSettlers: Mythology of the White Proletariat\u003c\/em\u003e, which remains the essential anti-racist labor history of the united states. Sakai work is grounded in Mao's politics, anti-imperialism, and in a lifetime of hands-on activism; he has consistently focused on the relationship between \"race\" and \"class\" in the american context, from a perspective dedicated to abolishing the united states, capitalism, and white supremacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeyond \u003cem\u003eSettlers\u003c\/em\u003e, however, Sakai has authored a number of other works, on subjects ranging from movement security, to the nature of the lumpen\/proletariat, to the rise of the far right, and much more.
