Book 147 📚 for 2026. The historian does a great job in presenting the past without (much) judgment or presentism, but definitely lets you know where they stand at the close. A very interesting book for sportsball fans/followers of urban development. Available everywhere, including your #LocalLibrary

An image of the front cover of Columbia history/African-American Studies professor Frank Andre Guridy's 2024 book, The Stadium: An American History of Politics, Protest, and Play. The book depicts a large stadium on its cover, with the text superimposed, with white (and quite large) title text, smaller light blue subtitle text and the author's name underneath, also in white, using the same font each time.

An image of the front cover of Dartmouth College history professor (and Minneapolitan) #LocalAngle Matthew F. Delmont's 2026 book, Until The Last Gun Is Silent: A Story of Patriotism, The Vietnam War, and the Fight to Save America's Soul. There are four colors on the cover; in the upper right Coretta Scott King is pictured in blue relief closeup; the other pictures are all of Medal of Honor winner Dwight Johnson, a US Army tanker from Detroit, who was shot and killed in a convenience store while suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (though it was not called that then). He is clearly depicted in the green photo, where the author's name text appears.

Book 145 📚 for 2026. #NotAllLatinos This book describes how the forces of tribalism, traditionalism and political trauma make the Latino/x population in the US anything but political monolith. It was a vivid, entertaining read; anecdotal, but good. Available everywhere, including your #LocalLibrary
