Book number two in our top picks off our shelf in 2019. Making tea before we record. B: *sigh* This is who we are, we record a podcast about books while drinking tea. C: ....yes, does it upset you that's who we are? #fiction #thesympathizer #reading2019 #vietthannguyen #liberating #libraries #podcasts #bookstagram

As the year winds down, we're posting some of the top picks from our shelves. You can hear us talk about all of them on our year in review episode coming out next week. #fiction #reading2019 #alismith #springanovel #liberating #libraries

New Episode! How should we feel and share our feelings in times of rising fascism? In this episode we tackle this question by looking at stories about life in German and Italy before and during WWII. We examine the three part graphic novel Berlin (2018) by Jason Lutes and Natalia Ginsburg’s memoir of Mussolini’s Italy, Family Lexicon (published in Italian in 1963, translated to English in 2017). These books helped us unpack things like resilience, language, community, and despair in a different way, something we hope can benefit others in contemporary movements. Listen on your favourite podcasting app! Link in our description. We had to truncate our long conversation, so here are some of the resources we used to gather information on the history of fascism and its relationship to the rise of alt-right, nationalist, and white supremacist movements today. https://youtu.be/k5og6XP3_pg https://monthlyreview.org/2014/09/01/the-return-of-fascism-in-contemporary-capitalism/ https://warriorpublications.wordpress.com/2017/06/20/fascism-anti-fascism-a-decolonial-perspective/ #podcast #bookstagram #books #reading #facism #socialism #feelings #signofthetimes #liberation #library
