Dave Book Recommendations & Book Mentions

Laws governing pickets are laid out in the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act (1992) & Trade Unions Act (2016), as well as other bits of general public order legislation. There are also guidelines for picketing laid out in the BEIS Picketing Codes of Practice.

@pinstripeowl If I recall correctly, I did Othello, the poems of the John Donne, The Great Gatsby, and The Remains of the Day. I do think having less recent fiction is really limiting in terms of what conversations you can have with students and, obviously, with questions of representation.

@max_legroom @whowh0m Marx's account of English history in the following chapters is good. Could also read other historians of that period. Silvia Federici's main emphasis (eg in Caliban and the Witch) is that Primitive Accumulation is an ongoing process, not limited to the early modern period.

@SzMarsupial Would thoroughly recommend the opening few pages of Larry Shiner's "The Invention of Art".

If you wanted to introduce some nuance and thought into the conversation about how jobs are ethically compromised, a decent starting point would be Eyal Press' book Dirty Work. https://t.co/1vPQ7Kml4H

@max_legroom @whowh0m Glenn Coulthard goes into it in Red Skin, White Masks. Carolyn Merchant's Death of Nature has good stuff on gender and ecology.
