Legacy of Violence:
A History of the British Empire
by Caroline Elkins
|
Drawing on more than a decade of research on four continents, Caroline Elkins demonstrates how and why violence in Ireland, India, Palestine, Kenya and other colonies underwrote Britain's empire and the country's imperial identity at home. In short, the blood and bones on which liberal-democratic “civilizations” sit. Caroline Elkins is founding director of Harvard's Center for African Studies and will be speaking at Revolution Books on September 30.

Horse:
A Novel
by Geraldine Brooks
|
Masterful story-telling in alternating chapters between 1850, 1950, and 2019. About horse racing and racism, a famous thoroughbred of the pre-Civil War era and his talented enslaved groom... a young Black scholar of the current day who rediscovered the horse's portrait. Incredibly rich and morally engaged historical fiction that also takes in art and art history...braided together by the ongoing horror of American racism.

The Naked Don't Fear the Water:
An Underground Journey with Afghan Refugees
by Matthieu Aikins
|
By mid-2022, 100 million people were displaced worldwide as a result of wars, poverty and famine, persecution, and climate change. An acclaimed young journalist chronicles the dangerous journey on the smuggler’s road to Europe, accompanying his friend, an Afghan refugee who says goodbye to the love of his life. Governments pit refugees against one another, demonize, incarcerate, and deport them, and many do not survive. It is happening on the U.S.-Mexico border. It is a high crime of imperialism.
