How did we get here?
What I was taught does not explain the world as I am witnessing it. So I compiled this list as a personal curriculum for histories that are critical of empire and capitalism, and actually shows us how we got here.
The list is not comprehensive, but I hope it helps people identify the gaps in their own historical education!

Become radicalized
History repeats, and most of us need an education.
Includes classics on American history & contemporary looks at the many -ism’s that consume us. Some microhistories are also thrown in. See them as case studies.
This list is by no means exhaustive. Feel free to comment other titles!
