I’m looking for:

Communist history (particularly in the United States, Turkey, and Africa)

Labor history (again, particularly in the United States, Turkey, and Africa)

Books on China (especially theoretical books by intellectuals, workmen, officials, etc. such as Deng Xiaoping or Liu Shaoqi)

Old books (not from 2020; from famous figures or obscure figures or ones who died recently, etc.)

Obscure books (books that aren’t that well-known and deserve more attention)

Decolonial/national liberation (stuff like Franz Fanon or Walter Rodney)

Now, I’m going to take a break from reading theory and finish up Paul Cockshott’s recent book and the book by DuBois that I’m reading right now (also, almost done with Roadside Picnic).

I currently have works by Gerald Horne, J. Sakai, Deng Xiaoping, Franz Fanon, Herbert Aptheker, and some books from Monthly Review Press on my list, but what other works should I read? What am I missing? I feel like I’m just reading the books that everyone else has already read, you know what I mean? Am I missing any details or obscure books that are important? Maybe underrated or “hidden gems” that I don’t know about?

Thanks in advance, comrades!
