Any topic in particular you want to start with?
For an intro to the USSR, particularly the revolutionary period, you will want to read October by China Melville (although people do say he falls for propaganda narratives about how the USSR fares after the revolution, so you will want to read other sources for that info). For critical American history, Howard Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States is a classic starting point a lot of people read in high school or college. There’s also a more recent book called How to Hide an Empire by Daniel Immerwahr that would also serve as a good intro. I haven’t read these, but I’ve also heard that Against Empire and Blackshirts and Reds by Parenti are good intro level history books. If I’m not mistaken, all of these books are on the theory MEGA file posted on the daily megathreads. For podcasts, RevLeft radio!
a classic first introductory text is zinn’s people’s history
October by China Melville tells a great story like account of the October revolution
Revolutions podcast gives a pretty good account of some important events too.
Great post, I have been seeking resources on Africa for this exact thing. Ancient, modern, whatever I just want to know more, definatly the region I know the least about.
Yea I found the cultures of Africa so interesting during anthropology class but that has such an imperialist slant.
Like I’ve read of nonbinary deities from some tribes and found that so interesting, as well matriarchal led tribes, and what I assume is closer to communistic societies that developed . I mean I get Mansa Musa existed but idk I just need to learn more
