[lbo-talk] vaca reading

[Dissenting Wren]

Not all of this is so very new, but...
Manning Marable's new biography of Malcolm X
Charles Payne, I've Got the Light of Freedom (about 15 years old, but new to me) 
- fine-grained history of civil rights organizing in Mississippi, focusing 
primarily on the period before Freedom Summer
David Graeber, Direct Action (about 3-4 years old now) - ethnographic 
participant-observer account of anarchist organizing, focusing on the 2001 
Summit of the Americas in Quebec, with a very good theoretical conclusion
James Scott, The Art of Not Being Governed: An Anarchist History of Upland 
Southeast Asia - fundamental rethinking of questions of state formation

it's that time again: tell me what to read!

Anything you've seen lately on the new fiction or new non-fiction shelves that 
you've read or would like to? Any good social or political theory/philosophy 
books that everybody's reading. What about sociology Alan?

Also, I'm up for totally trashy beach reading. And if Liza's reading, please 
send me your list of hilarious reads you once asked about on your facebook page. 
People sent in a slew of suggestions.

Thanks!
