I’ve already posted by current reading list and am already several weeks and three books into this but I think it makes sense to reshare as a #BlackAugust reading list.
The specific topics I’ve been interested in are 1) black anticapitism (and by proxy black anti imperialism which I didn’t entirely know to fully seek or appreciate), and semi related topics of black cooperative economics and labor organizing ....
2) black relationship to education justice and neoliberal education reform particularly in Chicago, and
3) anything @KeeangaYamahtta writes. Just kidding I am also interested in black housing justice but still also have plenty of history of redlining, restrictive covenants, etc to learn more deeply that predates what KYT covers
Oh and one other thing — the specific choice of Robert L Allen as really the closest thing to a primary source in this current list has to do with an interest in how the current racial wealth gap focus of funders mirrors late 60s philanthropies that coopted black militancy
