Fiction and nonfiction list. History sure does rhyme. If you have recs for this list, let me know!! Specifically, I'm looking for more adult nonfiction published in the last 10 years, but I'll take anything! Please don't comment that you "didn't learn about this in school", it is not my problem.

DIY-focused nonfiction about craftivism, protest art, and creative resistance in dark times.
