Readings and Resources.
"Without new visions we don’t know what to build, only what to knock down. We not only end up confused, rudderless, and cynical, but we forget that making a revolution is not a series of clever maneuvers and tactics but a process that can and must transform us."
— Robin D.G Kelley, Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination
“Words are to be taken seriously. I try to take seriously acts of language. Words set things in motion. I’ve seen them doing it. Words set up atmospheres, electrical fields, charges. I’ve felt them doing it. Words conjure. I try not to be careless about what I utter, write, sing. I’m careful about what I give voice to.”
— Toni Cade Bambara
This community reading list is intended for those who want to read with us; for those who recognize the power of language in world-building.
We link to PDFs wherever possible and will periodically update our library as we continue to learn and grow.
As this is an open and iterative project, please reach out with readings or other resources you have found formative in your own journey.
