IR 60 Indigenous and Black WisDub : Ebilotoh & Dubzaine
An invitation to political activists who remain detached from spirituality and also mystically inclined individuals aiming to be “spiritual, not political.” IR invites you to a dialogue, hoping it will widen your vision, challenge your preconceptions, and encourage self-reflection.
At the center of Indigenous and Black WisDub is a dialogue on:
- The pre-colonial histories of anarchist Africa.
- The outernationalist networks across India, Mexico, Vietnam, Jamaica, and Turtle Island.
- The confluence of political and spiritual dub in the visionary lives of Ho Chi Minh and Emir Abdelkadez and the importance of dreams, waking visions and meditation played in the lives of these and other revolutionaries.
- The legacies of Canute Frankson, Pandurang Khankhoje, Bhagat Singh, the Punjabi anarchists of the Ghadar Party, the Black anarchist fighting against Franco in the Spanish Civil War, and other anti-colonial and anti-fascist revolutionaries like Jamaican Canute Frankson.
- The outernationalist networks across India, Mexico, Vietnam, Jamaica, and Turtle Island.
- The inner dub reflections of Assata Shakur, John Trudell, Bhagat Singh, Jean” Binta” Breeze, Douglas Cardinal, Dhangsha, Huey P. Newton, Dr. Butch Bilal Ware among others.
All of this is grounded in the philosophies and dialogues from Indigenous Peoples from the Solomon Islands, West Papua, Turtle Island and beyond, amplified through voices like former American Indian Movement Chair John Trudell, whose words flow in unison with the revolutionary vision of Assatta Shakur as she spoke with us in Havana, Cuba.
As we state in our book, “According to spiritual teachers from multiple traditions, our senses are an important source of knowledge. Seeing is associated with believing, hearing is associated with understanding.”
Therefore we have created a special soundtrack to accompany this book featuring musicians and producers like UR (Underground Resistance), Steven Stanley, Dhangsha and IR :: Sankara Future Dub Resurgence. The soundtrack features the vocal WisDub of Angela Davis and Chuck D as well as traditional Indigenous singers from Turtle Island, over a flow of raw drum & bass, contemplative house, digital noise, and natural silence.

What if your life changed in an instant?
What if you lost the only family you ever knew?
What if you lost that sense of belonging and everything you existed for, came crashing down in an instant?
What if you lost a physical and mental part of you to the ravages of war?
Being abandoned by his parents at a young age and growing up within the care system, Jimmy Ferguson finally found his calling and a sense of belonging when, at the tender young age of sixteen, he joined the British Army. It was here that he met his best friend, Angus Brown, and together, they would become inseparable, moving up the ranks and eventually seeing active duty. Jimmy had finally found his family.
Ten years later Corporal Jimmy Ferguson was deployed on a six-month tour. Excited to return and marry the love of his life. His life would never be the same again, having being ambushed by an Improvised Explosive Device. Like his missing legs, everything he knew and cherished had disappeared, gone in an instant…
In the ensuing five years since his injuries, Jimmy had slipped into a spiral of despair and self-harm, cutting off the world and finding solace with the inside of a booze bottle and his new best friend, Jack Daniels. Hatred consumed his every existence, loneliness dictated his life, and all he wanted was for the quick slice of death’s gnarled hand to take him away from this place…

Bell Hammers : Lancelot Schaubert
“Schaubert recounts a mischievous man’s eight decades in Illinois’s Little Egypt region in his picaresque debut. Remmy’s life of constant schemes and pranks and a lifelong feud with classmate Jim Johnstone and the local oil drilling company proves consequential. This is a hoot.”
– Publisher’s Weekly
🏆 finalist for Glimmer Train’s Fiction Open.
PRANKS. OIL. PROTEST. JOKES BETWEEN NEWLYWEDS.
AND ONE HILARIOUS SIEGE OF A MAJOR CORPORATION.
Remmy grows up with Beth in Bellhammer, Illinois as oil and coal companies rob the land of everything that made it paradise. Under his Grandad, he learns how to properly prank his neighbors, friends, and foes. Beth tries to fix Remmy by taking him to church. Under his Daddy, Remmy starts the Bell Hammer Construction Company, which depends on contracts from Texarco Oil. And Beth argues with him about how to build a better business. Together, Remmy and Beth start to build a great neighborhood of “merry men” carpenters: a paradise of s’mores, porch furniture, newborn babies, and summer trips to Branson where their boys pop the tops off of the neighborhood’s two hundred soda bottles. Their witty banter builds a kind of castle among a growing nostalgia.
Then one of Jim Johnstone’s faulty Texarco oil derricks falls down on their house and poisons their neighborhood’s well.
Poisoned wells escalate to torched dog houses. Torched dog houses escalate to stolen carpentry tools and cancelled contracts. Cancelled contracts escalate to eminent domain. Sick of the attacks from Texaco Oil on his neighborhood, Remmy assembles his merry men:
“We need the world’s greatest prank. One grand glorious jest that’ll bloody the nose of that tyrant. Besides, pranks and jokes don’t got no consequences, right?”
