The original list is not so bad. I mean all the books are very readable and very up to date.

It is what it is. Mostly along the lines of "capitalism gone bad"...but if this is a process....eventually more books will surface.

If anyone hasn't clicked through, both the "Occupy Primer Reading List" ( http://occupyeducated.org/2011/11/15/hello-world) and the "REQUEST: Suggestions for Minority-repression Books for OccupyEducated Primer List" ( http://occupyeducated.org/2011/11/18/request-suggestions-for-minority-repression-books-for-occupyeducated-primer-list) are pretty precious.

"We discussed this, and recognize that this issue of racism and minority repression is systemic and often discussed at occupations. Thus, we are adding one book to the primer list, to round it out at six." And would you believe that three of the four books "on our consideration list" for addition, specifically to address "this issue of racism and minority repression," are by white authors? :-D
