Si'ahl Worker's Gazette: Historical Re-Imagining and the Critique of the Present in a Once-Potential Futureclose

The questions of equality, decolonization, and anti-imperialism have rarely been so acutely felt as they are today, in a period of rising global fascism, repression, and radical social movements. Looking back to the 1950’s and 1960’s, we see another such turning point in world history. Analyzing the historical documents from global revolutionary movements, Marxist-Leninist and Maoist theory, and locally-situated knowledge, this project examines how a future that had diverged in the 1950’s towards a communist world could have manifested for the both the international community and the Pacific northwest through the medium of a fictional newspaper published in Seattle. Ultimately, this project hopes to examine and critique our current moment of potential change, show the interpretive and political power of creative fiction, and stir interest in historical materialist analyses of similar moments of world history.
