This could be worthwhile (I won’t be able to pick it up until my many exams are done in about three years, sorry!)
I am curious about the “Jim Crow inspired the Nazis” line that has been amplified by *Caste*: How is it established that this wasn’t a line from Hitler, et al to discredit the U.S., rather than the claim that Jim Crow was an “operational handbook” for the Nazis, as it were?
I don't know; it's been one I want to check out for a while but havent found time for. I THINK it could be germane to some of what the book you are discussing is positing, but haven;t read it to know.
I feel like I wrote this somewhat under the influence of our dialogue, in the sense that I took your point about the need to chill on the anti-wokeness but also my point that I'd rather talk to people who are going back to foundational questions, from a left wing vantage point, than people who are repeating woke narratives. All of which is to say that you're definitely someone who should read this book.

Not sure. He doesn't footnote that claim.

I haven't. Worth reading?

I will read and assign! Daniel, if you aren't writing about it for anyone else, you can write it for TMR!
I'm too overwhelmed right now to commit to anything. But yes, read and assign!
This sounds great!

I got the message :) I remember you mentioned him! I'll look out for it. I would love a new paradigm for thinking about racial justice
