On Palestine Douban Goodreads
author: Noam Chomsky / Ilan Pappé publishing house: Haymarket Books 2015 - 4
Operation Protective Edge, Israel's most recent assault on Gaza, left thousands of Palestinians dead and cleared the way for another Israeli land grab. The need to stand in solidarity with Palestinians has never been greater. Ilan Pappé and Noam Chomsky, two leading voices in the struggle to liberate Palestine, discuss the road ahead for Palestinians and how the international community can pressure Israel to end its human rights abuses against the people of Palestine. On Palestine is the sequel to their acclaimed book Gaza in Crisis.

[有聲書] 大師就是大師,血海深仇娓娓道來,跟不關他的事一樣。信息量太大,也總結不出來個什麼。最深的總體印象就是以色列和美國全力以各種方式破壞巴勒斯坦的民主化改革,這樣下來,壓迫和侵略的對象就是一個完全符合刻板印象的異教專制團伙,而不是一個民主體制,動用什麼樣的手段都看起來是“為了文明自由世界”,國際上就不會太反對了。聽了兩遍都聽得麻麻渣渣的,不買紙本是不得行的了。

很多面孔和觀點的記錄,而且是很細節的,很多看似無足輕重甚至不相關的,但是放在這裡,就因為背景的特殊,喝一口水似乎都有些什麼其他意義。看到幾處家長帶著孩子去和佔領的年輕人交流,好感動。

導論類。名副其實,太美了。每一個篇章展開又是好多好多抗爭歷史。從發展、分化、激進、反思、重組等等方面介紹了這段激動人心的歷史。原來現在還在熱議的話題、表述、策略等等都是從那裡來的。和其他革命一樣,所有這些都不是掌權者誰開明、誰睿智、誰誤打誤撞、誰打錯了算盤而得來的,跟這些首腦領袖都沒有關係。這都是一個個普通人做自己能做的,形成的合力的結果。是屬於自己的成就。作為個體或許會氣餒、失望、難過,沒關係的,因為作為一個集合,必然不會被這樣被擊敗的。這部電影就是證據。
哼!不愧是“燈塔國”,原來“女權=境外勢力”也不是窪地原創呢,又失去一項自主知識產權。
波多黎各列入下一批“精神祖國”候選名單第一位。

不恰當的比喻:成人不宜的恐怖片。就算天天吼著鬧革命,還是覺得這樣的事情是他們怎麼做到的,怎麼堅持住的。“民主就那麼好嗎”現在看起來都感覺不那麼傻屌了似的。也可能是對烏克蘭當時的社會背景完全空白有關係,但是作為平民面對狙擊槍像幽靈一樣將身邊的人一個個撂倒也不退的信念還是讓人覺得不可思議。看到要有這樣的人與人的連接、對未來的理解和堅持、還要面對這樣程度的暴力的摧殘,才能實現一些改變,對急速倒車還覺得可以更嗨的某國的絕望可要用什麼詞來形容才好啊。

Living for Change Douban
author: [美] Grace Lee Boggs publishing house: University of Minnesota Press 2016 - 8
No one can tell in advance what form a movement will take. Grace Lee Boggs’s fascinating autobiography traces the story of a woman who transcended class and racial boundaries to pursue her passionate belief in a better society. Now with a new foreword by Robin D. G. Kelley, Living for Change is a sweeping account of a legendary human rights activist whose network included Malcolm X and C. L. R. James. From the end of the 1930s, through the Cold War, the Civil Rights era, and the rise of the Black Panthers to later efforts to rebuild crumbling urban communities, Living for Change is an exhilarating look at a remarkable woman who dedicated her life to social justice.

感覺行文特別流暢好讀。真是不立志把美帝搞垮的美國人不是真·美國人。看她講怎麼鬧革命,又特別容易,又特別難。專注在最基層、微觀的問題,自己和戰友們也不是什麼天降神人,就是懷著對活生生個體的關注、對自己從不間斷的挑戰自然發生的結果。另外,結合現實就覺得,資-社、中-美、東-西……這一對兒對兒的,哪個不是看到對方試驗的失敗就認為是對自己成功的證明,所以才有了望不到頭的各種奇觀式的悲劇、鬧劇呵?

An African American and Latinx History of the United States Goodreads
An African American and Latinx History of the United States
author: Paul Ortiz publishing house: Beacon Press 2018 - 1
Spanning more than two hundred years,
is a revolutionary, politically charged revisionist history, arguing that Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa—otherwise known as "The Global South"—were crucial to the development of America as we know it. Ortiz challenges the notion of westward progress, as exalted by widely-taught formulations like "Manifest Destiny" and "Jacksonian Democracy," and shows how placing African American, Latinx, and Indigenous voices unapologetically front and center transforms American history into one of the working class organizing themselves against imperialism.
In precise detail, Ortiz traces this untold history from the Jim Crow-esque racial segregation of the Southwest, the rise and violent fall of a powerful tradition of Mexican labor organizing in the 20th century, to May 1, 2006, International Workers' Day, when migrant laborers—Chicana/os, Afrocubanos, and immigrants from every continent on earth—united in the first "Day Without Immigrants" to prove the value of their labor.
Incisive and timely,
is a bottom-up history told from the viewpoint of African American and Latinx activists revealing the radically different ways that brown and black people of the diaspora addressed issues plaguing the United States today.

AOC: The Fearless Rise and Powerful Resonance of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Goodreads
author: Lynda Lopez publishing house: Dreamscape Media 2020 - 8
From the moment Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez beat a 10-term incumbent in the primary election for New York’s 14th on June 26, 2018, her journey to the national, if not world, stage was fast-tracked. Six months later, as the youngest congresswoman ever elected, AOC became one of a handful of Latina politicians in Washington, DC. Not yet 30, she inspires adulation; she represents her generation, the millennials, in many groundbreaking ways: proudly working-class, democratic socialist, of Puerto Rican descent, not to mention of the Bronx, feminist - and a great dancer.
At the same time, the outpouring of vitriol against her has been formidable. But with her social-media savvy and sharp wit, she fights back, creating memes and quotable lines like "Don't hate me cause you ain't me". She goes viral whenever she takes the floor, inspiring young progressives and frustrating conservatives.
Lynda Lopez's AOC investigates the many meanings of this remarkable young woman. Contributors span a wide range of voices and ages, from media to the arts and politics. Published on the one-year anniversary of her leap to power, this audiobook will be a must-have item for her many fans.

[有聲書] 抱著傳記的心情聽的,可是不能算是傳記。確切的標題應該是《AOC與我》。對作者自己的心路如何因AOC的出現而發生轉變的描寫佔了相當篇幅,但AOC自己是如何崛起的、如何想的,其實並沒有講出來。分給得不高主要原因就是標題沒取好。作為這個全新的歷史的親歷者們的心理描述是挺好的。

奇怪各平台的評分都不高。主要的批評覺得都站不住腳。1.存在族裔刻板偏見-白人精英vs深膚色底層暴民。難道是說墨西哥都進入後種族主義時代了?可別…光是墨西哥歧視南來難民的報導都見過不少,還指望能內部和諧?誰有中華民族這樣的好福氣喲。貌似墨西哥等一些中南美國家的“民族和諧”也有體制假象的意思,因為他們並不把族裔作為人口統計項目。2.玩弄《小丑》概念。真心覺得比《小丑》好很多。此片著眼於社會對不同階層中不同個體的意義,以及這些個體對自己的境遇如何反應的多樣和複雜,比起《小丑》將周遭一切都為打造小丑而服務要真實得多。小丑所引發的思考太單薄片面,所喚起的對底層所謂的同情關注只要一本《烏合之眾》就可以促成倒戈。3.太暴力。所有的暴力場景都可輕易在歷史長河中找到原型,竟然還有說“國家/軍人/富人哪有那麼壞”的,哭。
