My Library

I packed a small library for the road, listed in no order:

Raider Nation, volume 1: on Oscar Grant’s murder and organizing for justice
Terry Bisson’s novel Fire on the Mountain
W. E. B. Du Bois, John Brown
Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience
Angela Davis, Are Prisons Obsolete?
Timothy Dunn, The Militarization of the US-Mexico Border 1978-1992: Low-Intensity Conflict Doctrine Comes Home
Juan Gonzalez, Harvest of Empire: A History of Latinos in America
Frederick Douglass, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
Haruki Murakami, Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World
Fergus Bordewich, Bound for Canaan
Leonard Richards, The California Gold Rush and Coming Civil War
Some other articles and stuff

And the best find so far is Du Bois' The Suppression of the African Slave-Trade to the United States of America, 1863-1870. I found the book, which was his doctoral dissertation, in Harpers Ferry. DuBois, as part of the Niagara Movement, held a conference at Storer College in 1906.
