I’m currently finishing up Gideon the Ninth and, on the non-fiction side of things, I recently finished Reconstruction: The Battle For Democracy 1865-1876 by James S. Allen (which was published in the 1930s and inspired W.E.B. DuBois’s Black Reconstruction book).
You can purchase the reconstruction book here (and I implore you to do so or at least put it on your to-read list sometime).
Today’s discussion questions:
-
What do you plan to read?
-
What are your favorite publishers?
My answers:
I intend to read the Mao Zedong biography trilogy that’s being published in the United States by, I believe, either Cambridge or Harvard. Before you say anything: they’re Chinese-to-English translations and they were insulted by the web outlet Foreign Policy (a conservative U.S. foreign policy outlet) which is high praise to me.
As for my favorite publishers: International Publishers (CPUSA’s publishing arm) and Canut International Publishers (based in England and I believe they have an office in Turkey; they publish a lot of English translations of Chinese theoretical texts on Marxism-Leninism).
Talk about whatever, but do answer the title of the thread and the discussion questions, please. Thanks.
Also, shameless plug-in for a Discord server that me, BayArea415, and some good friends created:
Enjoy!
