Historia
Seldom does a book have the impact of Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow. Since it was first published in 2010, it has been cited in judicial decisions and has been adopted in campus-wide and community-wide reads; it helped inspire the creation of the Marshall Project and the new $100 million Art for Justice Fund; it has been the winner of numerous prizes, including the prestigious NAACP Image Award; and it has spent nearly 250 weeks on the New York Times best seller list.

I wish I had read this book as a teenager
Revisado: 01-01-24
This book is a work of art beautifully articulated and moree importantly factual. This opened my eyes in more ways than one on the nature of the systemic oppression experienced by the black demographic. Demonstrating the bias and double standards inherent in the justice system and how that translates to negative socioeconomic externalities for every party involved.

Historia
Drawing on a wealth of untapped archival materials and the reports of generations of family members - mayors, judges, scholars, diplomats, and journalists - The Hundred Years' War on Palestine upends accepted interpretations of the conflict, which tend, at best, to describe a tragic clash between two peoples with claims to the same territory. Instead, Khalidi traces a hundred years of colonial war on the Palestinians, waged first by the Zionist movement and then Israel, but backed by Britain and the United States, the great powers of the age.

A must read if you want TRUTH
Revisado: 10-12-23
This book adds all the context you could ever need to understand the far right Zionist movement in Israel to destroy the native population, the Palastinian's. Factual, concise, and well articulated. A must read and I will be buying a hard copy. I hope the Palestinian people can free themselves and get their ancestral land back, fight hard brothers.

Racist Trash
Revisado: 04-29-23
Title says it all most authors of the time are no different. This book is unoriginal unimaginative, and written by a small minded racist who was high on the eugenics narrative fab. Makes me glad the author dead.

Historia
Guyanese intellectual Walter Rodney emerged as one of the leading thinkers and activists of the anticolonial revolution. In 1980, shortly after founding of the Working People's Alliance in Guyana, the 38-year-old Rodney would be assassinated. In his magnum opus, Rodney incisively argues that grasping "the great divergence" between the West and the rest can only be explained as the exploitation of the latter by the former. This meticulously researched analysis of the repercussions of European colonialism in Africa remains an indispensable study for grasping global inequality today.

THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ
Revisado: 04-22-23
This book should be required reading material starting in middle school in every country. I can't believe it's been 50 years since this masterpiece was published. It perfectly summarizes the root causality for the perceived stereotypes meticulously cultivated to undermine an entire continent and it's inhabitants. Although it doesn't go into detail it's surmises over required information to discern the truth behind the suffering in Africa and displaced Africans around the world.

Historia
This is an easily digestible argument about what rights we have, what rights Republicans are trying to take away, and how to stop them. Mystal explains how to protect the rights of women and people of color instead of cowering to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. He explains the legal way to stop everything from police brutality to political gerrymandering, just by changing a few judges and justices. He strips out all of the fancy jargon conservatives like to hide behind and lays bare the truth of their project to keep America forever tethered to its slaveholding past.

Revisado: 04-16-23
This book was enlightening, inspiring, funny, well paced. It was an unapologetic response to conservative brain drain and unsubstantiated white exceptionalism. I will be recommending this book to many people. It's amazing to have this book available Thank You 🙏🏿 I will certainly be getting a hard copy.

Socioeconomic common sense = myth
Revisado: 04-11-23
Very profound stance on the anthropological and sociological inconsistency when it comes to defining the human condition based on current scientific trends. The ideas of veritable socioeconomic orientations fluctuating throughout history never occured to me but runs parallel with humanities tendencies toward redundancy. Humanity is consistently inconsistent.

Revisado: 03-01-23
This book was a well written account on the cohesion between different socioeconomic substrates and their inevitable effect on our collective survival. At times it might seem a little naive in its expectations where it doesn't take into account human psychology. But for those who are not profoundly familiar with the topic of climate change or global heating and its affects this book is a must read.

Historia
Some Americans cling desperately to the myth that we are living in a post-racial society, that the election of the first Black president spelled the doom of racism. In fact, racist thought is alive and well in America - more sophisticated and more insidious than ever. And as award-winning historian Ibram X. Kendi argues in Stamped from the Beginning, if we have any hope of grappling with this stark reality, we must first understand how racist ideas were developed, disseminated, and enshrined in American society.

A 2006 report commissioned by Brown University revealed that institution's complex and contested involvement in slavery - setting off a controversy that leapt from the ivory tower to make headlines across the country. But Brown's troubling past was far from unique. In Ebony and Ivy, Craig Steven Wilder, a rising star in the profession of history, lays bare uncomfortable truths about race, slavery, and the American academy.

Profound examples of the psychological manipulation achieved through conceptual and ideological machinations of Colonialist. It highlights the great leangths they went through to maintain their unsubstantiated superiority. This book gives a detailed account of some atrocities committed by self determined "civilized" people during their colonial genocide in the name of their contrived narratives.
