Howdy y’all!
I’m thinking of starting weekly posts for a bit, as a sort of book club. I wanted to do something a little different, though. I thought it might be more interesting, and promote more discussion, to do “nonessential” works - things that don’t get recommended for usual book club threads, or for new Marxists.
Reading Debray’s “Revolution in Revolution” made me think of this, but I haven’t found a good online copy yet.
What do y’all think? Any thoughts?
This is a great initiative.
If others haven’t read these nonessential works, you’ll surely mention topics in the book discussion that others know something about (maybe other books or articles on the same topic), so there’ll be scope for good discussion.
There are different styles for these kinds of discussion groups, but if you or others want an example of what it could look like, @seanchai@lemmygrad.ml led a good one in !trans@lemmygrad.ml. The material was shared, there, but I think there are workarounds where the text is harder to acquire.
I have a paperback of Debray’s Revolution in the Revolution. It was a gift, but I’ve not read it yet.
If you like, I can read it promptly and we can bounce questions off each other. That might help to give others a sense of what’s in the book, given that there might not be an online copy?
