Underline: If Covid didn't happen, I wanted to see his marker in the Panthéon. DoC should be required reading for black folks, alongside Malcolm X biography, Angela Davis's "Are Prisons Obsolete?", and Cheikh Anta Diop's African Origins. DoC, for me, has been one of the most pivotal texts in understanding our disposition and dispossession in the world.

Bold: I gotta read these books, especially Wang's CC. I just put the order in!! Do you study critical prison studies?
My bad for not replying earlier, I do study critical prison studies - and a lot of the branches of critical theory in general, both for fun and school.

Currently reading..

Ta'Neshi Coates - Between the world and me

Just finished..

Benjamin Mays - Born to Rebel


Anyone have any suggestions for black books more in line with Benjamin Mays Born to rebel...??

I like this Ta'neshi Coates book, but a lot of it is shyt I already know and it doesn't really give me the empowered feeling that Born to Rebel gave me. I'm just pissed after reading.
