Recs if you like Carceral Capitalism...

Intersectional books about anti-capitalism, economic injustice, and imagining better futures of interdependence and reciprocity

Laws are threats made by the dominant socio-economic ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just a promise of violence that’s enacted and police are basically an occupying army, you know what I mean? You guys wanna make some bacon?

Created by a surviving family member of a police-sanctioned lynching.

These Diverse Baseline Challenge was created by @bookish.millennial & @themargherita.s (on instagram). In 2025, the goal is to read 1 book by a racialized author each month. This challenge is meant to encourage readers to try genres they historically don’t reach for, find new-to-them racialized authors, and to encourage reflection on our reading habits.

This is a mix of recommendations by the challenge organizers and myself.
