Books that act as political beacons are the focus of this course. Each one is a stellar example of the genre we know as narrative non-fiction, and each one has been cited and referred to by generations of scholars, practitioners, activists, and students for whom equity and social justice are of importance. Over time, these books have taken on a talismanic importance and yet, they age well with the times and remain supremely relevant. Is that something to celebrate in terms of the prescience of the books themselves, or to lament in terms of how the world does not seem to become a more equitable place even over the decades since these books were read for the first time: Virginia Woolf, Three Guineas; B. R. Ambedkar, Annihilation of Caste; James Baldwin, Notes of a Native Son; Frantz Fanon, Black Skin, White Masks; bell hooks, All About Love: New Visions.
