This list critically examines the history of U.S. intervention in other countries, unpacking not only regime changes, but how it’s sold to the public. These books explore the political, economic, and strategic interests driving U.S. intervention, the manufactured consent that make it palatable at home, and the severe consequences and destabilization that inevitably follow abroad.

Ps. This is my first list so I’d appreciate any feedback & recommendations of reads to add

Unlearn the propaganda and stand for our communities.

Reading is political. Economics is political. Society is politics. You might ignore politics, but it will not ignore you.

My personal recommendations for studying propaganda, from a political science and communications perspective. First lesson = marketing is also propaganda and other things that are also propaganda.

Read about society, class consciousness and the actions we can and should take to get back our power

On the political and socioeconomic subjugation of the Global Majority World by Western Powers, particularly the USA as well as the history of these regions.

These are books I’ve started reading and/or plan to read.

A lot of books on here have been recommended from @kistreadsbooks on Tiktok! As he describes it, "history books to educate yourself on different eras and topics". Also adding books from @editorsarahadir on IG
