Have been listening to audiobooks during my bouts of menial labour and have kind of run dry on things to listen to that aren’t orthodox Marxism-Leninism. And while I did make a study guide for myself that covers Orthodox ML & Chinese socialism and annotated everything for which I could find an audiobook; I’d still like to learn more about socialism outside of the West and China.
This is what I’ve listened to so far:
Writers from the Global South
- Walter Rodney: How Europe Underdeveloped Africa
- Ho Chi Minh - Down with Colonialism!
- Eduardo Galeano - Open Veins of Latin America
Western Writers about the Global South
The recommendations don’t have to centre around socialism, and I’d be more than willing to pay for the content. I just don’t know what to listen to next. Kind of out of my depth. I did find Che’s on Guerilla Warfare, but I haven’t started listening to it yet.
Been reading up on information around the book and I just noticed that the dates related to Cuba in my mind were all wrong. I knew the Cuban Missile Crisis was in 1962, but I didn’t know that the Bay of Pigs invasion was a year before that, and the conclusion of the Cuban Revolution a mere two years before that.
I always guesstimated the Cuban Revolution having happened almost a decade before it did.
Going to add it to the list I’ll create specifically for audible. Want to have another 3-4 titles on audible before I sign up.
