I was nominated by Feler Dureus (Thanks!) for the #bookchallenge. Participants are asked to list 10 influential books and their authors in no particular order and tag 10 people to do the same. Ive listed some of the earliest books I read during my teenage years that certainly shaped my views and quenched my thirst for knowledge and would later inform my activism / work. There are SO many books I could list...but heres ten. Not sure who initiated this challenge, but I LOVE it! My 10 books are: 1. Two Thousand Seasons - Ayi Kwei Armah 2. Wildseed - Octavia Butler 3. Black-On-Black Violence: The Psychodynamics of Black Self-Annihilation in Service of White Domination - Amos Wilson 4. Yurugu: An African-Centered Critique of European Cultural Thought and Behavior - Marimba Ani 5. Criminalizing A Race, Free Blacks During Slavery - by Charshee C. L. McIntyre 6.
