The Black Reparations Project 2023. From Here to Equality, 2nd edition (2022)

Karl Marx's Theory of History: A Defence
Gerald a. Cohen
@tommie_shelby I'm thinking specifically of his Karl Marx's Theory of History: A Defence where, in my estimation, he essentially flips Marx's theory upside down. Did Cohen change his position subsequently?

The Sellout
Paul Beatty
@RogueChieftan As a non-lit scholar, I've found that it's been fun to read fiction that bears a connection to my research. I've even found that I could incorporate some novels (and films) into my classes, e.g. Michael Young's Rise of the Meritocracy; Paul Beatty's Slumberland and The Sellout.

Annihilation of Caste
Dr B. R. Ambedkar
@sreeparna_c_ @AshwDeshpande @srajagopalan @pbmehta The policy you describe sounds like the antithesis of Dr. Ambedkar’s preference for abolition or annihilation of caste. It sounds like a palliative accommodation however limited its success.

Fire in Beulah
Rilla Askew
@mattcone2 @DashkaSlater @jeremynsmith @RogerThurow @KatzOnEarth @bryan_caplan @michelawrong @ninamunk @RD_Economist Hope we can chat soon. A couple of works of fiction that might work well in a social studies classroom are Matt Ruff’s Lovecraft Country and Rilla Askew’s Fire in Beulah.

Beyond Positivism
Bruce Caldwell
@WynekenHenry @PhilWMagness @NancyMacLean5 @INETeconomics Not sure how fair Popper was to other scholars but his methodological stance on falsification as the gold standard is problematic. Even libertarian methodologist Bruce Caldwell says as much in what I view as a very good book, Beyond Positivism. Also see https://t.co/4kcmFOYJ6c

The Pivot of Civilization: Birth Control
Margaret Sanger
Not inclined to defend nor honor Margaret Sanger, who endorsed the principles of eugenics to support the birth control movement (before it was called planned parenthood). But statements circulating attributed to her that are fabrications aren’t needed. https://t.co/UplbksHQzZ
