The Root: What books are you reading right now?

[EndDomination]

Just finished Ta-Nehisi Coates - Between the World and Me, fantastic read.
Starting up a quick-read of Angela Davis' - Women, Race & Class

 

[mandelson]

Picked up Black Privilege, Charlamagne Tha God

 

[RedNation]

I've been reading Faces at the bottom of the well: the permanence of racism by Derrick Bell. My Dads been telling me for A long time to read the book and I finally managed to do it this past week. Easily one of the best books I've read in the past year

One of his more recent books, Race, Racism and American Law is also a fantastic read.
I wish more Black people with any involvement in the judicial system had read that book, among Michelle Alexander, and Patricia Hill Collins.

I need a plug for:

Dark Continent Of Our Bodies

 

[mbewane]

Just finished reading "My life in the Bush of Ghosts", Amos Tutuola...first book I've ever read form him, instantly became one of my favorites

Finally read Next time he fire by Baldwin after seeing I am not your Negro

Has anyone read the book "Why I'm no longer speaking to White people about ace" by Reni Eddo-Lodge? I was it the other day at this english-speaking bookshop here in Paris and was considering buying it

I might cop this shyt. Looks good and Robin Walkers has been a credible scholar. Hope I find some good treasures in this so I can post it in my Sahel thread.

For some reason its hard for me to finish non-fiction books but hopefully I have the time and dedication to finish this. Again looks and sounds good. Hope there is more Timbuktu/West Africa than Ancient Egypt.

 

[Bawon Samedi]

This shyt looks tough.

But dont have enough time for it especially considering that I may cop that Robin Walkers book after and that Swahili book next. But if you're Nigerian then you should at least research this book.

Unfortunately the Comic book shop doesn't have a Website yet, but they have a facebook. You can contact the owner here Amalgam Comics & Coffeehouse, Inc. | Facebook

This the site for the local bookstore http://blackandnobel.com/ And another good site is http://www.sankofa.com/

The breh @2Quik4UHoes runs that store and he could hook you up in case the brehs at Black and Nobel can't but I'm sure they can.

@2Quik4UHoes I didn't know you ran a bookstore!!!

 

[I AM WE ARE]
