Inhaltsangabe
This second volume of Fredy Perlman's novel The Strait completes his project to depict the story of the catastrophic effects of what he called the "world-changers" on the original communities of the North American continent, specifically around the Great Lakes and Tiosa Rondion, the fast-current river and strait between two lakes and the colonial outpost that became Detroit.
According to his life-partner and biographer Lorraine Perlman, this was the work that had germinated as early as 1959, when he had begun his lifelong critique of what he called "The Rise and Fall of Capital and Labor," a concept that started as an historical polemic and which he abandoned as perhaps just another history, and thus a tool learned from the empire he wished to oppose. In 1983, worried that he could not finish his story to be told in a way he hoped would approach the telling of the world changes by a primal person, Perlman laid out his vision of the history of our world in his Against His-story, Against Leviathan!--a fast-current soliloquy itself, a stormy anti-history, which gained many admirers and was translated into several languages. He returned to his sweeping epic and left it nearly completed--a family saga, as Lorraine put it--incorporating, among many other themes, the deadly impact of commodities and technology on organic communities, the failure of all institutions, "the hazards of one speaking to many and, of course, about saviors who claim to protect their followers from all of the above."The first volume, treating the early contacts between capitalist civilization and the Indigenous communities of the Great Lakes region, was published posthumously soon after his death in 1985. This second volume, bringing events to the middle of the nineteenth century, completes the story of the families that experienced conquest, colonialization, and the triumph of capitalism.
