On Palestine 豆瓣 Goodreads
作者: Noam Chomsky / Ilan Pappé Haymarket Books 2015 - 4
Operation Protective Edge, Israel's most recent assault on Gaza, left thousands of Palestinians dead and cleared the way for another Israeli land grab. The need to stand in solidarity with Palestinians has never been greater. Ilan Pappé and Noam Chomsky, two leading voices in the struggle to liberate Palestine, discuss the road ahead for Palestinians and how the international community can pressure Israel to end its human rights abuses against the people of Palestine. On Palestine is the sequel to their acclaimed book Gaza in Crisis.

[有聲書] 大師就是大師,血海深仇娓娓道來,跟不關他的事一樣。信息量太大,也總結不出來個什麼。最深的總體印象就是以色列和美國全力以各種方式破壞巴勒斯坦的民主化改革,這樣下來,壓迫和侵略的對象就是一個完全符合刻板印象的異教專制團伙,而不是一個民主體制,動用什麼樣的手段都看起來是“為了文明自由世界”,國際上就不會太反對了。聽了兩遍都聽得麻麻渣渣的,不買紙本是不得行的了。

Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom Goodreads
作者: David W. Blight Simon Schuster Audio 2018 - 10
As a young man, Frederick Douglass (1818–1895) escaped from slavery in Baltimore, Maryland. He was fortunate to have been taught to read by his slave owner mistress, and he would go on to become one of the major literary figures of his time. His very existence gave the lie to slave owners: with dignity and great intelligence he bore witness to the brutality of slavery.

Initially mentored by William Lloyd Garrison, Douglass spoke widely, using his own story to condemn slavery. By the Civil War, Douglass had become the most famed and widely travelled orator in the nation. In his unique and eloquent voice, written and spoken, Douglass was a fierce critic of the United States as well as a radical patriot. After the war he sometimes argued politically with younger African Americans, but he never forsook either the Republican party or the cause of black civil and political rights.

In this biography, David Blight has drawn on new information held in a private collection that few other historian have consulted, as well as recently discovered issues of Douglass’s newspapers.

Living for Change 豆瓣
作者: [美] Grace Lee Boggs University of Minnesota Press 2016 - 8
No one can tell in advance what form a movement will take. Grace Lee Boggs’s fascinating autobiography traces the story of a woman who transcended class and racial boundaries to pursue her passionate belief in a better society. Now with a new foreword by Robin D. G. Kelley, Living for Change is a sweeping account of a legendary human rights activist whose network included Malcolm X and C. L. R. James. From the end of the 1930s, through the Cold War, the Civil Rights era, and the rise of the Black Panthers to later efforts to rebuild crumbling urban communities, Living for Change is an exhilarating look at a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to social justice.

An African American and Latinx History of the United States Goodreads
An African American and Latinx History of the United States
作者: Paul Ortiz Beacon Press 2018 - 1
Spanning more than two hundred years,
is a revolutionary, politically charged revisionist history, arguing that Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa—otherwise known as "The Global South"—were crucial to the development of America as we know it. Ortiz challenges the notion of westward progress, as exalted by widely-taught formulations like "Manifest Destiny" and "Jacksonian Democracy," and shows how placing African American, Latinx, and Indigenous voices unapologetically front and center transforms American history into one of the working class organizing themselves against imperialism.
In precise detail, Ortiz traces this untold history from the Jim Crow-esque racial segregation of the Southwest, the rise and violent fall of a powerful tradition of Mexican labor organizing in the 20th century, to May 1, 2006, International Workers' Day, when migrant laborers—Chicana/os, Afrocubanos, and immigrants from every continent on earth—united in the first "Day Without Immigrants" to prove the value of their labor.
Incisive and timely,
is a bottom-up history told from the viewpoint of African American and Latinx activists revealing the radically different ways that brown and black people of the diaspora addressed issues plaguing the United States today.

No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam Goodreads
No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam
作者: Reza Aslan Random House Audio 2009 - 3
Though it is the fastest growing religion in the world, Islam remains shrouded by ignorance and fear. What is the essence of this ancient faith? Is it a religion of peace or war? How does Allah differ from the God of Jews and Christians? Can an Islamic state be founded on democratic values such as pluralism and human rights? A writer and scholar of comparative religions, Reza Aslan has earned international acclaim for the passion and clarity he has brought to these questions. In
, challenging the “clash of civilizations” mentality that has distorted our view of Islam, Aslan explains this critical faith in all its complexity, beauty, and compassion.
Contrary to popular perception in the West, Islam is a religion firmly rooted in the prophetic traditions of the Jewish and Christian scriptures. Aslan begins with a vivid account of the social and religious milieu in which the Prophet Muhammad lilved. The revelations that Muhammad received in Mecca and Medina, which were recorded in the Quran, became the foundation for a radically more egalitarian community, the likes of which had never been seen before.
Soon after his death, the Prophet’s successors set about the overwhelming task of defining and interpreting Muhammad’s message for future generations. Their efforts led to the development of a comprehensive code of conduct that was expected to regulate every aspect of the believer’s life. But this attempt only widened the chasm between orthodox Islam and its two major sects, Shiism and Sufism, both of which Aslan discusses in rich detail.
Finally,
examines how, in the shadow of European colonialism, Muslims developed conflicting strategies to reconcile traditional Islamic values with the social and political realities of the modern world. With the emergence of the Islamic state in the twentieth century, this contest over the future of Islam has become a passionate, sometimes violent battle between those who seek to enforce a rigid and archaic legal code and those who struggle to harmonize the teachings of the Prophet with contemporary ideals of democracy and human rights. According to Reza Aslan, we are now living in the era of “the Islamic Reformation.”
is a persuasive and elegantly written account of the roots of this reformation and the future of Islamic faith.

聖人們寫經傳法典的時候都是一片赤誠,可哪知道後世會是什麼樣。後來的虔誠追隨者都聲稱自己熟讀經典,可有的嚐到的是權力,把故紙舉得高高,成了衛道士、保皇派、堅定的無產階級革命家,堅定捍衛聖賢的崇高,誰敢褻瀆經典,人頭祭天、血染紅旗;有的讀到的是聖賢嘔心瀝血寫進經典的慈悲,秉著聖賢之心,以當世的智識解眼前的民生艱難,甚至認為聖賢若要讓我如此待人,則不惜背棄神佛諸子…可影片後面就沒有怎麼展開了,雖然講“知識分子接受貧下中農再教育”[褒義]的故事本來也是很有意義的,可是故事覺得有點飄,路數有些俗套。若是拍成昌大、可居嫂等等“賤民”通過大哥的書信與弟弟筆戰論道,點到精英空想裡的漏洞,效果會不會更好。也可以為昌大受到師叔思想的影響堅決要走仕途做出更好的鋪墊?還是要感嘆南朝鮮都拍出“神命我殺人 我當殺神”的政治片了,西朝鮮……

Monumental 豆瓣
作者: Brian K. Mitchell / Barrington S. Edwards Historic New Orleans Collection 2021 - 1
Monumental tells, for the first time, the incredible story of Oscar James Dunn, a New Orleanian born into slavery who became America's first Black lieutenant governor and acting governor. A champion of universal suffrage, civil rights, and integrated public schools, Dunn fought for radical change during the early years of Reconstruction in Louisiana, a post-Civil War era rife with corruption, subterfuge, and violence.
A graphic history informed by newly discovered primary sources, Monumental resurrects, in vivid detail, Louisiana and New Orleans after the Civil War--and presents an iconic American life that never should have been forgotten. Contextual essays and a map and timeline add layers of depth to the narrative. Monumental is a story of determination, scandal, betrayal, and how one man's principled fight for equality and justice may have cost him everything.
