Prisoners of the American Dream: Politics and Economy in the History of the Us Working Class
Mike DavisCold Crash PicturesLatest read is “Prisoners of the American Dream” by Mike Davis. A dense but surprisingly approachable analysis of the American labor movement, and why there hasn’t been a serious attempt to craft a real labor party in the US—written in ‘86, but might as well have been yesterday. https://t.co/w1r5kEP7RG

Capitalist Realism: Is There No Alternative?
Mark FisherCold Crash PicturesLatest read is “Capitalist Realism” by Mark Fisher. A short (81 pg) but POTENT analysis of the methods by which capitalism convinces ppl it’s the only option. It contains the killer observation that Americans often mistake the constant pursuit of need-satisfaction for “freedom.” https://t.co/oTrLSymWAh

Assata: An Autobiography
Assata ShakurCold Crash PicturesLatest read is #Assata by Assata Shakur. I’ve been reading a lot of theory lately (read: the last two years), so this comparatively breezy (but far from lighthearted) narrative is a welcome addition to the library. A very boots-on-the-ground view of the revolutionary movement. https://t.co/Y6vESzD2de

What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions
Randall MunroeCold Crash PicturesLatest read is “What If? 2” by Randall Munroe—the sequel to one of my all-time favorite non-fiction books. Q: Ever wonder how much colder the world would get if we all opened up our fridges at the same time? A: Would you believe the temp would actually go UP??? https://t.co/HSOyBg95Oh

State and Revolution
V. I. LeninCold Crash PicturesLatest read is “State and Revolution” by Vladimir Lenin. A great introductory read that seeks to define Marxism by explaining what it’s NOT (utopianism, pacifism, etc). It’s surprisingly approachable—even funny! I would srsly tell people to read this before I suggested Marx. https://t.co/kmgWJkfn3b

Black Against Empire: The History and Politics of the Black Panther Party
Joshua BloomCold Crash PicturesLatest read is #BlackAgainstEmpire. I’d never read a history of the BPP—much less an analysis of their politics—and I can’t recommend this one highly enough. All the revolutionary rhetoric of the last year… turns out it’s been in the air & on the books for over half a century. https://t.co/Zcc7Y5yJMO

Salt: A World History
Mark KurlanskyCold Crash PicturesLatest read is #Salt by Mark Kurlansky. My first thought after finishing it was “I would love to read a storied history of every common household product like this,” but then I think the magic of salt is that nothing else *IS* this storied. https://t.co/urBoSG0Dg8
