Recs if you like Revolutionary Suicide...

books by or about people who have fought against authoritarianism. recommendations, critiques, and discussions welcome!

Books specifically about the lives and deaths of members of the Black Panther Party, government led assassination plots, the processes the US created to take down the flourishing community created by the Black Panther Party, and the histories of the BPP through the words of multiple members.

This list is dedicated for all the book recommended and mentioned by Louisa Munch - critical theorist. I follow her Instagram account almost from the very first videos. Louisa inspired me to organise better my political reading and she always gives some nice recommendations to inform yourself about the political landscape of today. I just wanted to have all the books in one place, plus the ones which I found on my own reading journey.

We can't have a democracy without informed citizens - Louisa Toxvaerd Munch

I know there are already several lists with a California theme, but I am hoping this acts as a syllabus of sorts for books that deal with the core myth, history, violence, dream, and contradiction of California. Suggestions are welcome!

Books about the BPP, what they were about, how they organized, & what the US government did.
