my rating review
The First of Many Biographies… Preamble :political economy/ecology The First of Many Biographies… Preamble :political economy/ecology and end up with a perpetual pile of exhausting tomes. Add a recent data analysis class that was taught in the opposite way (abstract mathematical) than what I find intuitive/compelling (social application: I Think You'll Find It's a Bit More Complicated Than That ), and you find me rather deflated with the lack of reading progress…biographies (and some fiction) of/by diverse radical figures who often have legendary nonfiction works that I’m behind on. Biographies have the benefit of hindsight vs. autobiographies (ex. Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention vs. The Autobiography of Malcolm X ), although both serve the purpose here. Frederick Douglass : whom else to pair with Tubman? Ernesto Che Guevara : The Motorcycle Diaries: Notes on a Latin American Journey only scratches the surface compared to his later letters. W.E.B. Du Bois : pioneering social researcher; once again, I only had a glimpse (Darkwater: Voices from Within the Veil ) of Du Bois’ transformation from domestic reformist to internationalist communist, thus turning to Bill V. Mullen for an overview. Frantz Fanon : another anti-imperialist legend, where I could use some context to help with the psychoanalysis components. Claudia Jones : I still need to finish Mohanty's Feminism without Borders: Decolonizing Theory, Practicing Solidarity , having only read the lead essay Under Western Eyes: Feminist Scholarship and Colonial Discourses , so Jones is a great addition to this. Audre Lorde : following up Sister Outsider: Essays and Speeches with Lorde’s “biomythography”…Bhagat Singh : I recently revisited Malm’s How to Blow Up a Pipeline critique of Extinction Rebellion’s messy claim that only nonviolence has been proven successful in historical struggles. Having read Arundhati Roy’s critique of Western-romanticized Gandhi, it was time to explore Singh. Aleksandra Kollontai : this biography is framed as “The Lonely Struggle of the Woman Who Defied Lenin”, but as usual I’m sure narcissism of small differences is hiding much to synthesize. Also interested in reading Kollontai's fiction. My approach to history :great men and (b) episodic events . This is unacceptable when we consider:Radical/critical lens : getting to the roots and not merely accepting convenient top-down perspectives from the conquerors (ex. “Great man theory”). The alternative here is to center the many conveniently-censored perspectives of the masses, i.e. “a people’s history” approach, popularized by Zinn’s A People's History of the United States . Synthesizing critical biographies can be a component of this. Systems-thinking : episodic events are the surface noise of deeper structural processes : see the technical (i.e. more on the physical sciences) primer Thinking in Systems: A Primer . World-Systems Analysis: An Introduction is a useful guide, and here are some favourite applications:The Global Minotaur: America, the True Origins of the Financial Crisis and the Future of the World Economy Capital and Imperialism: Theory, History, and the Present The Darker Nations: A People's History of the Third World Capital: A Critique of Political Economy, Volume 1 Late Victorian Holocausts: El Niño Famines and the Making of the Third World Highlights :accessible . The target audience includes what I call “default liberals”, i.e. “apolitical”, thus adopting the assumptions of the default status quo (liberalism, i.e. capitalist economy with relatively cosmopolitan sociopolitical surface appearance). colonizing bias that Vijay Prashad highlights, where the Global North/colonizing instititutions come up with all the theories , whereas the Global South/colonized are only good for survival stories/guerilla manuals . How do we reconstruct the depth of how Tubman diagnosed the world around her? This is why I paired this with Douglass’ autobiographical analyses.
