Previous thread is over here.
I forgot to update this yesterday since I was at work.
As usual: no crackers allowed.
Here, you can:
vent

inquire
etc.
about, well, anything, ig.
Bonus discussion question:
What are your favorite books about BIPOC and EM people?
Could be about individuals, a few individuals, or a social history (or, well, everything having to do with EM_BIPOC peoples).
Mine is kind of a “basic opinion” but it’s:
An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz.
Read it right when it came out.
And I knew it was going to be a “classic” (or, at least, on many peoples’ “to-read” lists).
Of course, I’m an obscurist, sort-of. I recommend more obscure works, but this one really stood out to me back when it first came out. I had a professor that also recommended the book and had us all read it in class. I believe they were Apache.
On the topic of “obscure” works, I would recommend Henry Winston’s Strategy for a Black Agenda, which is my favorite work on such topics as Pan-Africanism and violence vs. non-violence (and whether and how to use both or when).
Anyway, take care!
You’ve read it too?
It’s on my org’s current reading list, Strategy is. I think I got in too late for their reading circle on We Will Shoot Back, I’ve been making headway through that between my coursework this semester
I love that book and its sequel and, since I’m apart of the CPUSA, I have a healthy respect for Henry Winston already, who helped start NAARPR and NAIMSAL.
(NAIMSAL especially helped spear-head the anti-apartheid movement in the U.S., pressing for sanctions on South Africa, which eventually did happen, over its apartheid system.)
