White Rage book cover
White Rage
Carol Anderson - 2016-05-31
Goodreads Rating
This book explores the powerful forces opposed to black progress in America, chronicling them from the Civil War to the present. Author Carol Anderson reframes our conversation about race and exposes the deliberate and relentless rollback of African Americans' gains every time they make advances towards full participation in our democracy. This book is an unimpeachable history of the long lineage of white rage, adding an important new dimension to the national conversation about race in America.

@MikeMerchant2 I'm a huge fan of Dune, since I read the books when I was a 11. I'm going to need to organize a whole panel to discuss Dune 2020.      source
An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States book cover
An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States
Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz - 2014-09-16
Goodreads Rating
Discover a unique history of the United States, told from the perspective of indigenous peoples. Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz's groundbreaking work rethinks the country's founding myth and explores the centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regime. With growing support for movements to celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day and protect Native American territories, this essential resource is more relevant than ever. Spanning over 400 years, the classic bottom-up peoples' history shines a light on the silenced Indigenous experience and redefines US history.
