So far Ive been recommended 10 days that shook the world, ilan pape, david graeber, and walter rodney.

I did a theory thread so i might as well do this too.

    In the US, “Black Reconstruction in America” by W.E.B. Dubois - detailing the revolutionary nature of post-civil war reconstruction that was squashed first by Lincoln then absolutely destroyed by Johnson.

    I’m also seeking recommendations for histories of the indigenous struggle in North America!

      An Indigenous People’s History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz is a good all around history.

      In the Spirit of Crazy Horse by Peter Matthiessen and Prison Writings: My Life is a Sun Dance by the man himself are both about Leonard Peltier

      Red Skin, White Masks talks about recognition politics and the history of both the liberal and radical sects of indigenous organizing mostly in Canada

      I haven’t read Like the Sound of a Drum by Peter Kulchyski but I’ve had it recommended as well and it’s on my (ever increasing) list
