Beyond “Anti-Racist” Reading Lists Rad Reads 2020-06-18 | Getting back into the hang of things, so hang in there folks! Please do not misconstrue my message as saying “don’t read”, clearly I am saying the opposite. I’m just providing works that I feel offer much more robust analysis and that go beyond the liberal notions of “anti-bias” and “anti-racism”. Solidarity, liberation, and revolutionary outlooks are where I stand.Books I found a PDF for:-Are Prisons Obsolete?-Angela Davisfeministes-radicales.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Angela-Davis-Are_Prisons_Obsolete.pdf-Black Skin, White Masks-Frantz Fanonmonoskop.org/images/a/a5/Fanon_Frantz_Black_Skin_White_Masks_1986.pdfCRC statement: https://www.reed.edu/cres/assets/Combahee-River-Collective,-Black-Feminist-Statement,-How-We-Get-Free---Taylor.pdf-Women, Race, and Class-Angela Davishttps://www.reed.edu/cres/assets/Combahee-River-Collective,-Black-Feminist-Statement,-How-We-Get-Free---Taylor.pdf-Blood in my Eye-George Jacksonredyouthnwa.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/george_l-_jackson_blood_in_my_eyebook4you-org.pdf-Malcolm x Speakshttps://edisciplinas.usp.br/pluginfile.php/531360/mod_resource/content/1/Malcolm_X_Speaks.pdfNoname Book Club: nonamebooks.comWhere to find me:Goodreads: goodreads.com/user/show/72413401-briannaInstagram: @radreads94Twitter: @RadreadsB
