Hard Crackers

Chronicles of Everyday Life

Taking up where the inimitable Race Traitor left off, Hard Crackers: Chronicles of Everyday Life is guided by one principle: that in the ordinary people of this country (and the world) there resides the capacity to escape from the mess we are in, and a commitment to documenting and examining their strivings to do so.

From the introduction to each issue:

"American society is a time-bomb where the impending explosion, whatever its form might be, is endlessly hinted at by the more or less horrifying “little” degradations of daily rape, murder, stupid violence of different varieties (perhaps most notably urban gang violence), episodic mass killings (with or without apparent motive), drug and alcohol-induced stupors, drug overdoses, callous health care and classroom teaching, apparently crazy people talking on subway platforms, and so forth. We “see” these kinds of events in different ways—sometimes up close and personal, other times by reading the local newspapers or the online media or watching cable TV. Attentiveness to daily lives is absolutely essential for those who would like to imagine how to act purposefully to change the world."

Race Traitor

Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity

PM Press has several issues of this legendary journal!

Race Traitor calls itself a journal of the New Abolitionism. Its motto is "Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity." The journal takes its stand on two points: first, that the "white race" is not a natural but a social category; second, that what was historically constructed can be undone. The first of these points is now widely accepted; scientists have concluded that there are no biological standards for distinguishing one "race" from another, and social scientists have begun to examine how race was constructed and how it is reproduced. The "social construction of race" has become something of a catch-phrase in the academy. However, few have taken the next step: indeed one might say that up to now the philosophers have merely interpreted the white race; the point, however, is to abolish it.
