I'm back in good health and should start posting serious theory discussions instead of talking about football all the time.
Post ideas here. Upbearing comments will be interprebeared as an expression of interest.
It would be good etiquette to mention the length of the book, as it's relevant to choosing.
I got a hold of books like Red Road to Freedom by Tom Lodge - It's about the history of the South African Communist Party. Pretty great so far. I could perhaps read it to the class.
I also have Armed and Dangerous and International Brigade against Apartheid, both by Ronnie Kasrils, though a mate at work is borrowing the latter.
There's also Long Walk to Freedom by Nelson Mandela; Why Israel? Anatomy of the Zionist Apartheid and Shattering Zionist Myths, both by Iqbal Jassat/Surya Dadoo.
Some forewarnings: The books do reference primary sources from "that time" in South African history, so there will definetely be the occasional hard-R and hard-K present. Also for the books regarding Isisrael, there is going to be quite several descriptions of death and gore.
Death to America
Red Road to Freedom is a great one and I really wish people would read up on the Communist Parties besides the AES ones.
