Jeanne Theoharis and Erik Wallenberg: The unknown history of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Chicago housing movement
Chicago’s movement too often appears as a failure, but Black residents organized to expose the city’s relentless segregation in housing.

Chicagoans, you’d have to be out of your mind to skip this. O’Shea’s book is fantastic, and he and Makkai are so wicked sharp and funny, they might just warp the time-space continuum.

Hey #booksky if I were to get only one of these @haymarketbooks.org books which one should I pick? I can't decide and they've already, kindly, sent me a reminder to make up my mind 😅
My favorite, most recently read Haymarket book. Not actually about radicalizing on any particular topic, but on how to sustain movements and organizing work. A hopeful, encouraging read. www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1922-l...
Let This Radicalize You
Doing Justice: The Revolution of Rescue and Reciprocal Care is a practical and imaginative resource for activists and organizers building power in an era of destabilization and catastrophe.

Here's another excerpt of my new book, now up at @texasobserver.org www.texasobserver.org/excerpt-how-... @haymarketbooks.org
Excerpt: How to Close a Camp
Detention was sold as both a law-and-order necessity and an economic opportunity, welding together the racist politics of the drug war with the rise of private prisons.
texasobserver.org
This new book by @jwashing.bsky.social is of great, ethical, importance. A "thoughtful analysis", thinks @ccgarciahernandez.bsky.social "As #immigrant #detention becomes a testing ground for #authoritarian rule, this book is a crucial resource", says @silkys13.bsky.social By @haymarketbooks.org
How to Close a Camp

“Shuttering these facilities isn't enough. When that infrastructure is in place, it can be used.” In a Q&A with @brittashoot.com, journalist John Washington (‘How to Close a Camp’ pub. @haymarketbooks.org) details how fighting & closing detention centers is critical to stop immigration enforcement.
