Seeing Like an Activist: Civil Disobedience and the Civil Rights Movement
Erin R. PinedaDave Kamper 🌹In light of the Haley/King news, you ought to read @erinrpineda's Seeing Like An Activist: the lessons and ideology of the Civil Rights Movement were changed in real time by scholars, journalists, and politicians. I swear I don't get royalties even though I plug the book a lot.

The Blazing World: A New History of Revolutionary England, 1603-1689
Jonathan HealeyDave Kamper 🌹@Lady_Historian Just finished The Blazing World by Jonathan Healey and I thought it was pretty good. Fraser's bio of Cromwell probably the most accessible.

Murder in the Garment District: The Grip of Organized Crime and the Decline of Labor in the United States
David WitwerDave Kamper 🌹...even those of us who believe in solidarity and unions are sometimes guilty of overstating the connection between unions and the mob even in the 1950s. I strongly recommend Catherine Rios and David Witwer's recent book, _Murder in the Garment District_ in this regard... 11/

In Hoffa's Shadow: A Stepfather, a Disappearance in Detroit, and My Search for the Truth
Jack GoldsmithDave Kamper 🌹@HerbertHistory It’s a Redford movie, but both great. And I highly recommend Jack Goldsmith’s recent semi-memoir, semi-history, In Hoffa’s Shadow, as a great work on organized crime.
