| Summary: | A Separate Star collects the decolonial socialist ambitions of Red Braid Alliance through reflections on struggle, popular philosophical inquiries and revolutionary strategy. The roots of the collectively-authored book are in Red Braid's decade of efforts to foster the self-organization of what they referred to as subaltern social groups in tent cities, squats and nameless low-rise apartment buildings facing demoviction in cities and towns throughout southwest British Columbia. Beyond a collection of reminiscences about such 'basebuilding' action, A Separate Star is an inquiry into the theory and practices of building a fighting political organization that orbits a center of gravity separate from settler colonial nation states and their sophisticated civil societies. For Indigenous sovereigntists, it is a contribution from the perspective of Indigenous fighters displaced into cities and towns who are mobilizing sovereignty as a method to move beyond survival to build the revolutionary power of Indigenous street kin. For socialists, it is a polemic for a decolonial socialism that cannot be realized without taking out the evil triumvirate of colonialism, imperialism and capitalism. |
