I am currently deciding on the books for my fall column on Contemporary Readings on History, Politics, and Culture. Feel free to suggest additional readings--I'm particularly interested in a new-ish book (2007-now) about class and economics, and possibly one about gender as well--but as of now, the books are:
The Hip Hop Wars: What We Talk About When We Talk About Hip Hop--And Why it Matters, Tricia Rose
Everything But the Coffee: Learning About America from Starbucks, Bryant Simon
"They Take Our Jobs!" and 20 other Myths About Immigration, Aviva Chomsky
That's Revolting! Queer Strategies for Resisting Assimilation, ed. Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore
Between Barack and a Hard Place: Racism and White Denial in the Age of Obama, Tim Wise
How the Beatles Destroyed Rock 'n' Roll: An Alternative History of American Popular Music, Elijah Wald
Judaism Does Not Equal Israel, Marc Ellis
