Brilliant text — most I know— some I do not. This will influence how I develop my curriculum for my students: on and off campus. Thank you.

Yes Huda! Thank you so much for sharing! Some of your picks are things I read in the early ‘70s when trying to understand our world from a perspective outside of the culture in which I grew up. Those choices mirror my feelings of “wow, here we go again”. Reading them again is a welcome reminder of where I’ve been and where we all are now. Time to saddle up!

This list is wonderful. Thank you! I’ve been foraging for support in my bookshelves and many of these are sitting in a pile to read. Thank you so much for recommendations so I can flesh out the pile.

It is comforting to know that others resonate with the same books and authors.
