This masterful text on the US imperial project's origins and it's subsequent iterations is a must-read for those interested in the history of the US empire. The book shows both the continuities and innovations in how US imperialism is articulated and sold to the public. Williams' insightful book was published in 1980 but anticipates the reorientation of the US imperial project to the enemy within- so crucial in the post 9/11 US imperialism.

Beautifully written and as poignant now as it was then. It is a book that will stay with you- it's messages etched into your soul.

Great book containing amazing interviews by the founders of the Combahee River Collective and Alicia Garza (co-founder of Black Lives Matter). A great resource for activists and those interested in the lessons shared by these amazing black feminist socialist activists as well as a a riveting account of their personal narratives and rise to political consciousness. Highly recommend!

A collection of essays by the inimitable poet Audre-Lorde. I will be returning to this again and again. I feel renewed after reading this. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

A thought-provoking essay collection by the towering and ground-breaking writer of Things Fall Apart.

Intriguing, vague and addictive. A book about trauma, memory, fear, deprivation and abandonment. Most importantly, it's about the construction of one's life narrative and the need to share it.

This lovely essay collection is quick and thought-provoking read.

Would recommend White Man's Guilt and the oft- quoted The Price of a Ticket.

I am contributing to this by adding this wonderful line here:

"There was not, then, nor is there, now, a single American institution which is not a racist institution". p. 34
