Book Recommendations
from emily:
A People's History of the United States by Howard Zinn. This book is indispensible for understanding the
many ways activists have shaped our nation throughout its history. Zinn focuses on unions, the women's movement,
pacifists, and the struggles for respect and equality among African American, indigenous, and other oppressed people.
Reading A People's History gives me hope that we can create a better future.
from Lee:
A Chorus of Stones: The Private Life of War by Susan Griffin. This book changed my life. I've read it four or five times and hunted
down just about everything else she's written. It took her eight years to write. It gracefully connects the
personal to the global, sketching out how silence and abuse in families, between men and women and between parents
and children connect to the silences we maintain about nuclear weapons, radioactive waste, the devastation of war
and the destruction of the natural world.
