book update

earlier this month read People Before Highways: Boston Activists, Urban Planners, and a New Movement for City Making + had a good conversation with the author, Karilyn Crockett. highly recommend if you think you’re even vaguely interested in this subject matter. In a way, it’s a narrative that is also a community organizing/resistance playbook.

just tonight finished Black Women Against The Land Grab: The Fight for Racial Justice in Brazil by Keisha-Khan Y. Perry.  Solid work. Title says it all.

currently working through Homosexuality in Islam: Critical Reflection on Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender Muslims by Scott Siraj al-Haqq Kugle in my (limited) pleasure-reading time – since all the other Muslim queers be swearing by it. So far so good! 

oh i forgot i also just read the Flint Report by the Michigan Civil Rights Commission which honestly reads like a narrative history/book (138pg) – it’s a page-turner and also if you think you’re remotely interested in this subject matter or want a nuanced view of the Flint Water Crisis much much much deeper than headlines and urgent tumblr posts, you can access it free here. 

lemme add this book that i read earlier this week to the list for those who’ve been following this post. super super super interesting and kind of explores topics in a more accurate way than you’ll get in news media or random ass tumblr posts. message me if you want to talk about it
