books i’ve read or want to read on community organizing, liberation and building a better world

progressive, anti-racist, leftist, education theory books :)

Books covering Black history, Blackness, and systemic racism without the whitewashing and sanitization.

Books about education, specifically focusing on science, research, and at times investigative journalism that delves into how we educate people. These books may have contradictory ideas. I don’t necessarily or agree with and have not read all of them, but I’ve come across them in my interest in the science of reading last year.

Books about the dark truth of the U.S., its history, and how it functions now, covering everything from colonialism, to slavery, to redlining, to police brutality, to poverty, to Christian nationalism, to unchecked capitalism, and more.
