I got the audiobook of this from libro.fm and though it took me a long time to get through it was well worth it. As someone with no personal connection to Islam or the Arabic world, there was a fair bit of material that went over my head, but the research and conclusions found in this book are brilliant. I learned SO much from it.

imagineutopia finished reading Making Love with the Land by Joshua Whitehead
Listened to the audiobook via the library. A really beautiful and thoughtful collection of essays, as is to be expected from Whitehead. This merits several re-readings for sure.

Excellent collection of materials on Rojava and social ecology (the book is aptly named). This one, and Make Rojava Green Again, are beautiful little volumes that would make great gifts for rad friends or friends you want to radicalize.

Devoured. But will re-read. This deserves (demands(?)) as many re-reads as their are singers in the chorus.
