People's history of the united states by Howard Zinn
21 things you may not know about the Indian act by Bob Joseph
Thanks! Just added these books; the prevalence of indigenous people in the education system is criminally little.
Right on, and totally agreed.
Not about indigenous people, but consider also blackshirts and reds by parenti. It is a strident polemic, very fiery and fun to read. It is not directly about race or visible minorities, colonialism so it doesn't fit the exact description you laid out. Nevertheless, socialist is a political minority in the US and its a very easy read that covers a lot of ground.
Okay, the book itself is very interesting and one that I will add to my personal reading list, although I'm not sure how suited it would be for the group's reading list. I'll add it on anyways and see what the rest of the group thinks about it.
Thanks again for the suggestion! I have a general idea of the overlaps of capitalism with fascism but not much idea on what fascism is.
