#CurrentlyReading History I didn't know: the Ukrainian People’s Republic (1917–1921). "It was the forefront of a revolutionary shift — offering a bold vision of what politics could be."

#MarxistMonday IMHO #Detroit-based #AgainstTheCurrent is one of our finest contemporary left political journals, published by #SolidarityUSA, "a socialist, feminist and anti-racist organization" founded in 1986. Well-researched, well-written and thoughtful perspectives on current and historical events. Affordable subscriptions, too. Well worth reading! #Marxism #Socialism #Journalism #Politics #USPol #CurrentEvents #FrantzFanon #Histodon https://againstthecurrent.org/atc230/frantz-fanon-and-the-paradox-of-anticolonial-violence/

Added to my "must read" list: "The Prosecution of Professor Chandler Davis: #McCarthyism, #Communism, and the Myth of #AcademicFreedom", Steve Batterson's chronicle of a leftist #Michigan professor and his impressive battle against those who wished him silenced. Fascinating review in #SolidarityUSA journal #AgainstTheCurrent. #Academia #History #Socialism #RedScare #CPUSA #Politics #UM #UMich #UniversityOfMichigan #Literature #Books https://againstthecurrent.org/atc229/chandler-davis-dissent-and-solidarity/
