@bookstodon March:
2: Angela Y. Davis’ excellent Autobiography. From growing up on Dynamite Hill to studying under Adorno in Frankfurt and Marcuse in California while organising all sorts of amazing protests. A manifesto of seeing people in statistics of oppression.
4: Adania Shibli’s En liten detalj (Minor Detail), which got her banned from the Frankfurt book fair. A Palestinian perspective on the Apartheid state.
7: Sun-Mi Hwang’s The Dog Who Dared to Dream, which is predictably depressing in new and interesting ways.
22: Esi Edugyan’s excellent Washington Black, which was not what I expected (the sky ship on the cover gave me the wrong idea), but which gives an idea of the horror of escaping slavery only to fall into a world which still does not accept your equal humanity.
