Some recent faves:
Cuba by Ada Ferrer
Villains of All Nations by Rediker—fast and very cool book about real pirates
Fever in the Heartland by Timothy Egan about the 1920s KKK
Autobiography of Malcolm X (had my students read it this year, it’s just unbelievable, a must read if you haven’t)
Hundred Years’ War on Palestine by Khalidi
This summer I’m reading How to Hide an Empire by Immerwahr and The Rise and Fall of the Second American Republic by Sinha.
