How did we get here??
Books to help understand and grapple with the current fall of the US into a fascist white supremacist autocratic state. How did we get here? Is anyone else seeing this? What do we do now? For those people who feel less panicky if they have an explanation for the absolutely baffling. Mostly non-fiction but with a few chillingly accurate fiction adds.

Rise of the Far Right
The far right movement, how it's growing in influence, and why its prominence is a bad thing for everyone.






Mexico Vibes/vibras mexicanas wey
This list is like a Lacroix- someone yelled Mexico in the other room while it was canned. Author is Mexican, Book is set in Mexico, maybe Mexico is mentioned often or tangential to the plot, Characters are of Mexican descent, depicts Chicana/Mexican-American experience, Mexico in the title, Author flew over Mexico while writing the book/j etc. As long as the reason it's on here makes sense to me :) but hopefully will be obvious to everyone; adult books only- will put Spanish versions if they are already entered on pagebound
