Modernity and Whiteness
Bolivar Echeverria
@samhaselby This is a great piece which reads very well alongside Ecuadorian Marxist Bolivar Echeverria’s Modernity and Whiteness where he argues that the ethnic idea of whiteness is nothing but an imperial expansion of homo capitalisticus https://t.co/eOOty75cTX

The Mexican Revolution
Adolfo Gilly
Verso is publishing an anthology of the writings of Adolfo Gilly, one of the pre-eminent Marxist historians in Latin America. It is, as far as I know the second of his books: the first, his unsurpassed history of the Mexican Revolution https://t.co/XL6SiUTHwj

Mexican Everyday
Rick Bayless
@Merucat7 @olivalejandra_ @alexanderchee The Mexican vegetarian Cookbook is good. A lot out there are adaptations of meat dishes which I personally think don’t taste right. But this one has dishes that are mostly vegetarian in their original cultural context, Rick Bayless’s Mexican Everyday cookbooks have a good veg too

Waiting for the Barbarians
J. M. Coetzee
@mervatim @nonsuchbook “The Stronghold” is the new (controversial in the titling) translation of The Tartar Steppe, which is one of the great novels of the 20th century, and you will notice that Coetzee’s Waiting for the Barbarians draws nearly all from it. Love Affair is startlingly different!
