    The Rashtrakutas were one of the most powerful dynasties in Indian history, ruling vast territories across the Deccan and beyond. Their origins, however, remain a subject of debate among historians due to conflicting inscriptions and interpretations. Some sources trace their roots to the Kannada-speaking regions, while others suggest connections to northern India. Despite the uncertainty, it is widely accepted that the Rashtrakutas emerged as a prominent force in the Deccan by the 8th century. 
    The dynasty first gained prominence under the rule of Dantidurga, who established Rashtrakuta authority by overthrowing the Chalukyas of Badami. However, evidence suggests that the Rashtrakutas had been a significant regional power even before his reign. The earliest references to the name "Rashtrakuta" appear in inscriptions from the 6th and 7th centuries, indicating that they were already influential feudatories before rising to imperial status. Some scholars believe they originally served as administrators or military governors under the Chalukyas before asserting their independence. 
    The question of the dynasty’s ethnic and linguistic identity has long been debated. Some sources claim that they were of Kannada origin, citing inscriptions and literary works composed in the Kannada language under their patronage. Others argue that they may have had northern Indian roots, pointing to their interactions with Rajput and Gurjara clans. Regardless of their precise origins, the Rashtrakutas embraced the cultural diversity of the Deccan, ruling over a population that spoke multiple languages, including Kannada, Sanskrit, and Marathi.

    Decades ago, Malcolm X eloquently stated that communities have the legitimate right to defend themselves “by any means necessary” with any tool or tactic, including guns. This wide-ranging anthology uncovers the hidden histories and ideas of community armed self-defense, exploring how it has been used by marginalized and oppressed communities as well as anarchists and radicals within significant social movements of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. 
    Far from a call to arms, or a “how-to” manual for warfare, this volume offers histories, reflections, and questions about the role of firearms in small collective defense efforts and its place in larger efforts toward the creation of autonomy and liberation. 
    Featuring diverse perspectives from movements across the globe, Setting Sights includes vivid histories and personal reflections from both researchers and those who participated in community armed self-defense. Contributors include Dennis Banks, Kathleen Cleaver, Mable Williams, Subcomandante Marcos, Kristian Williams, George Ciccariello-Maher, Ashanti Alston, and many more.

    It has been famously pointed out that the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, but it was also not an empire in the sense people expect when hearing the term. In theory, the emperor was the highest prince in Christendom, and his dominion extended the length and breadth of Western Europe. The empire had been created by the papacy when Pope Leo III famously crowned the supposedly unwitting Charlemagne in Saint Peter’s Basilica, intending to recreate the Western Roman Empire. In truth, the imperial power did not extend beyond central Europe, which by the beginning of the 16th century included Germany, northern Italy, and the Netherlands. Even in these lands, however, the emperor struggled to command obedience. His dominion over northern Italy was theoretical only, the cities of the Netherlands were deeply conscious of their ancient rights and privileges, and Germany had long ceased to be compliant. The latter had become a collection of principalities, dukedoms and bishoprics which vied with each other and pursued their own agendas. They were, however, united in only one sense: denying the emperor power and resisting attempts to centralize the government. 
    The clergy occupied a privileged place in medieval society. Europe had inherited Christianity from the Roman Empire, and the concept of a united Christendom and empire were practically synonymous. Indeed, there was no real consciousness of the Roman Empire ever having ended. After the Western Roman Empire collapsed in the late 5th century, the Germanic rulers of Western Europe continued to recognize the Eastern Emperor in Constantinople until Charlemagne, and after the dissolution of the Frankish Empire, the imperial seat was transferred to Otto I, King of East Francia in modern Germany. 
    By the late 10th century, however, the emperor’s reach was rarely felt beyond Germany and northern Italy, and the question of who was supposed to be the imperial head was unresolved.
