Then he takes readers along with him to Columbia, South Carolina, where he reports on his own book’s banning, but also explores the larger backlash to the nation’s recent reckoning with history and the deeply rooted American mythology so visible in that city—a capital of the Confederacy with statues of segregationists looming over its public squares. Finally, in the book’s longest section, Coates travels to Palestine, where he sees with devastating clarity how easily we are misled by nationalist narratives, and the tragedy that lies in the clash between the stories we tell and the reality of life on the ground.\n\nWritten at a dramatic moment in American and global life, this work from one of the country’s most important writers is about the urgent need to untangle ourselves from the destructive myths that shape our world—and our own souls—and embrace the liberating power of even the most difficult truths.\n","image":{"url":"https://ucarecdn.com/033dc0fb-87e7-4490-829f-0a361723016e/-/crop/862x862/148,0/-/preview/","alt":"The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates","width":1200,"height":630},"direct_link":"https://stacklist.com/card/3ab3f94c-c61c-46ab-a0ea-068c4b4c3142","created_at":"2024-11-13T14:09:29.175Z","updated_at":null},{"id":"8669dd65-07af-41e6-8e5e-a04040b8c390","position":2,"title":"Meditations by Marcus Aurelius","url":"https://a.co/d/cgYv4Yt","note":"Meditations: The Annotated Edition","image":{"url":"https://ucarecdn.com/53b4c491-4ce5-4748-96cf-8119033f8663/-/crop/870x870/140,0/-/preview/","alt":"Meditations by Marcus Aurelius","width":1200,"height":630},"direct_link":"https://stacklist.com/card/8669dd65-07af-41e6-8e5e-a04040b8c390","created_at":"2024-11-13T13:05:07.807Z","updated_at":null},{"id":"85f5f5a6-6346-45cd-9860-a19fd98643e6","position":3,"title":"Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner?: A Story of Women and Economics","url":"https://www.amazon.com/Who-Cooked-Adam-Smiths-Dinner/dp/1681774445","note":"How do you get your dinner? That is the basic question of economics. When economist and philosopher Adam Smith proclaimed that all our actions were motivated by self-interest, he used the example of the baker and the butcher as he laid the foundations for 'economic man.' He argued that the baker and butcher didn't give bread and meat out of the goodness of their hearts. It's an ironic point of view coming from a bachelor who lived with his mother for most of his life ― a woman who cooked his dinner every night.\n\nNevertheless, the economic man has dominated our understanding of modern-day capitalism, with a focus on self-interest and the exclusion of all other motivations. Such a view point disregards the unpaid work of mothering, caring, cleaning and cooking. It insists that if women are paid less, then that's because their labor is worth less. Economics has told us a story about how the world works and we have swallowed it, hook, line and sinker. This story has not served women well. Now it's time to change it.\n\nA kind of femininst Freakonomics, Who Cooked Adam Smith’s Dinner? charts the myth of economic man ― from its origins at Adam Smith's dinner table, its adaptation by the Chicago School, and its disastrous role in the 2008 Global Financial Crisis ― in a witty and courageous dismantling of one of the biggest myths of our time.\n","image":{"url":"https://ucarecdn.com/c581a6e5-2ce4-428e-9011-0ae24fe4e4a5/-/crop/1565x1566/284,0/-/preview/","alt":"Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner?: A Story of Women and Economics","width":1200,"height":630},"direct_link":"https://stacklist.com/card/85f5f5a6-6346-45cd-9860-a19fd98643e6","created_at":"2025-01-06T16:42:39.263Z","updated_at":null},{"id":"1ed1adc2-d820-46e3-a08e-4a4b739b5bcd","position":4,"title":"How to Think Like a Woman: Four Women Philosophers Who Taught Me How to Love the Life of the Mind","url":"https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=32126715206&dest=usa&ref_=ps_ggl_18382194370&cm_mmc=ggl-_-US_Shopp_Trade0to10-_-product_id=COM9780802158802USED-_-keyword=&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAh6y9BhBREiwApBLHCzTZhzH1ppeqUbGeMcudkDKeR9_uBGcpdN5tJ6jhnQoSFQukJqHhoBoCLtIQAvD_BwE","note":"As a young woman growing up in small-town Iowa, Regan Penaluna daydreamed about the big questions: Who are we and what is this strange world we find ourselves in? In college she fell in love with philosophy and chose to pursue it as an academician, the first step, she believed, to becoming a self-determined person living a life of the mind. What Penaluna didn’t realize was that the Western philosophical canon taught in American universities, as well as the culture surrounding it, would slowly grind her down through its misogyny, its harassment, its devaluation of women and their intellect. Where were the women philosophers?\n\nOne day, in an obscure monograph, Penaluna came across Damaris Cudworth Masham’s name. The daughter of philosopher Ralph Cudworth and a contemporary of John Locke, Masham wrote about knowledge and God, and the condition of women. Masham’s work led Penaluna to other remarkable women philosophers of the era: Mary Astell who moved to London at age twenty-one and made a living writing philosophy; Catharine Cockburn, a philosopher, novelist, and playwright; and the better-known Mary Wollstonecraft, who wrote extensively in defense of women’s minds. Together, these women rekindled Penaluna’s love of philosophy and awakened her feminist consciousness.\n\nIn How to Think Like a Woman, Regan Penaluna blends memoir, biography, and criticism to tell the stories of these four women, weaving throughout an alternative history of philosophy as well as her own search for love and truth. Funny, honest, and wickedly intelligent, this is a moving meditation on what philosophy could look like if women were treated equally.\n","image":{"url":"https://ucarecdn.com/823eaed4-30a1-47bf-b568-bd9f171ed659/-/preview/","alt":"How to Think Like a Woman: Four Women Philosophers Who Taught Me How to Love the Life of the Mind","width":1200,"height":630},"direct_link":"https://stacklist.com/card/1ed1adc2-d820-46e3-a08e-4a4b739b5bcd","created_at":"2025-02-11T14:27:12.981Z","updated_at":null},{"id":"d62f6574-6d39-491b-b290-73dca8985b1f","position":5,"title":"Poverty, by America book","url":"https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/poverty-by-america/51948577/item/62979484/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=pmax_new_books_18452111988&utm_adgroup=&utm_term=&utm_content=&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAiaC-BhBEEiwAjY99qFx4gSdtCtVqFcRyFTLDfNNrQ8qpiK6kiiTkF5TohWLWPSCbcYeTEhoC49AQAvD_BwE#idiq=62979484&edition=70693198","note":"The United States, the richest country on earth, has more poverty than any other advanced democracy. Why? Why does this land of plenty allow one in every eight of its children to go without basic necessities, permit scores of its citizens to live and die on the streets, and authorize its corporations to pay poverty wages? \n \nIn this landmark book, acclaimed sociologist Matthew Desmond draws on history, research, and original reporting to show how affluent Americans knowingly and unknowingly keep poor people poor. Those of us who are financially secure exploit the poor, driving down their wages while forcing them to overpay for housing and access to cash and credit. We prioritize the subsidization of our wealth over the alleviation of poverty, designing a welfare state that gives the most to those who need the least. And we stockpile opportunity in exclusive communities, creating zones of concentrated riches alongside those of concentrated despair. Some lives are made small so that others may grow.\n \nElegantly written and fiercely argued, this compassionate book gives us new ways of thinking about a morally urgent problem. It also helps us imagine solutions. Desmond builds a startlingly original and ambitious case for ending poverty. He calls on us all to become poverty abolitionists, engaged in a politics of collective belonging to usher in a new age of shared prosperity and, at last, true freedom.\n","image":{"url":"https://ucarecdn.com/d335131a-f695-445f-84e2-7989b9b1eadd/-/crop/1560x1558/254,0/-/preview/","alt":"Poverty, by America book","width":1200,"height":630},"direct_link":"https://stacklist.com/card/d62f6574-6d39-491b-b290-73dca8985b1f","created_at":"2025-03-05T13:44:14.805Z","updated_at":null},{"id":"ed63400d-249c-4359-ba26-6857e7a6befd","position":6,"title":"Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche","url":"https://www.rebind.ai/book-details/thus-spoke-zarathustra?email=bwickeraad@gmail.com","note":"As a unique work of philosophical fiction, ‘Thus Spoke Zarathustra’ breaks fresh ground and migrates uncharted territories. While the themes and merits of this book are continually disputed, it remains the most well-known and beloved work of German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.\n\nFilled with analogical and figurative insights, this seminal book explores life through the voice of Zarathustra. Based on the Persian prophet Zoroaster, Zarathustra comes down from his lofty mountain after years of meditation to spread wisdom to the world.\n\n‘Thus Spoke Zarathustra’ is home to Nietzsche’s most famous quote, “God is dead.” Always seeking, this book is full of huge all-embracing themes. The life-affirming ”superman” and “will to power” ideas are widely misunderstood, and “eternal recurrence” is transcendent and entirely unique.\n\n‘Thus Spoke Zarathustra: A book for All and None’ is a title like no other. Written and published in four parts between 1883 and 1885, it remains an essential work of philosophy, a masterpiece of literature, and a thought-provoking parody with the power and grace to transform your life.\n","image":{"url":"https://ucarecdn.com/2f7a1e57-36a8-465e-897f-9c764b18deab/-/crop/1560x1560/197,0/-/preview/","alt":"Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche","width":1200,"height":630},"direct_link":"https://stacklist.com/card/ed63400d-249c-4359-ba26-6857e7a6befd","created_at":"2024-11-20T13:49:52.995Z","updated_at":null},{"id":"e3a47be4-22fe-49a7-9a29-e6c9cff7a589","position":7,"title":"Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants - Kimmerer,","url":"https://www.abebooks.com/9781571313560/Braiding-Sweetgrass-Indigenous-Wisdom-Scientific-1571313567/plp","note":"Join botanist and educator Robin Wall Kimmerer on a journey to explore the interconnectedness of nature and human life.

Neither one had ever farmed before. Charles had been circumnavigating the globe by sail, operating a floating school that taught students about ecology and indigenous cultures. Perrine had been an international lawyer in Japan. Each had returned to France to start a new life. Eventually, Perrine joined Charles in Normandy, and Le Ferme du Bec Hellouin was born.\n\nBec Hellouin has since become a celebrated model of innovative, ecological agriculture in Europe, connected to national and international organizations addressing food security, heralded by celebrity chefs as well as the Slow Food movement, and featured in the inspiring and COLCOA award-winning documentary film, Demain. Miraculous Abundance is the eloquent tale of the couple's evolution from creating a farm to sustain their family to delving into an experiment in how to grow the most food possible, in the most ecological way possible, and create a farm model that can carry us into a post-carbon future when oil is no longer moving goods and services, energy is scarcer, and localization is a must.\n\nToday, the farm produces a variety of vegetables using a mix of permaculture, bio-intensive, four-season, and natural farming techniques - as well as techniques gleaned from native cultures around the world. It has some animals for eggs and milk, horses for farming, a welcome center, a farm store, a permaculture school, a bread oven for artisan breads, greenhouses, a cidery, and a forge.\n","image":{"url":"https://ucarecdn.com/24a27799-b1a3-4ebc-9c7d-db89544bb005/-/crop/1565x1564/391,0/-/preview/","alt":"Miraculous Abundance | Chelsea Green Publishing","width":1200,"height":630},"direct_link":"https://stacklist.com/card/4de86ad5-0e1a-463e-97e9-22e6db499438","created_at":"2025-02-21T01:02:13.059Z","updated_at":null},{"id":"33ee10e2-578e-48b6-91e4-99fac66b0541","position":9,"title":"The Emperor of Gladness: Oprah's Book Club: A Novel","url":"https://www.amazon.com/Emperor-Gladness-Novel-Ocean-Vuong/dp/059383187X","note":"In this stunning novel, Ocean Vuong's protagonist embarks on a journey of self-discovery, exploring themes of family, identity, and the power of storytelling.\n","image":{"url":"https://ucarecdn.com/3726ca46-2148-4a01-b1b0-c4b32cdb4d6c/-/crop/1626x1626/294,0/-/preview/","alt":"The Emperor of Gladness: Oprah's Book Club: A Novel","width":1200,"height":630},"direct_link":"https://stacklist.com/card/33ee10e2-578e-48b6-91e4-99fac66b0541","created_at":"2025-05-15T02:05:49.388Z","updated_at":null},{"id":"743333ab-542a-46fc-98cc-b84d12c83a64","position":10,"title":"Think Again: Adam Grant","url":"https://a.co/d/gtvQQZY","note":"Examining the critical art of rethinking: learning to question your opinions and open other people's minds, which can position you for excellence...","image":{"url":"https://ucarecdn.com/20c9fecd-0b4b-46ec-a484-f67d51a7a638/-/crop/1549x1548/330,0/-/preview/","alt":"Think Again: Adam Grant","width":1200,"height":630},"direct_link":"https://stacklist.com/card/743333ab-542a-46fc-98cc-b84d12c83a64","created_at":"2024-08-01T23:59:10.272Z","updated_at":null},{"id":"87c79ea3-8bc6-4f92-9c75-4a9528295cce","position":11,"title":"Foreign Agents","url":"https://a.co/d/iCS3uti","note":"\n","image":{"url":"https://ucarecdn.com/d3f22ffd-b892-413b-a841-d107c280ec85/-/crop/907x906/60,0/-/preview/","alt":"Foreign Agents","width":1200,"height":630},"direct_link":"https://stacklist.com/card/87c79ea3-8bc6-4f92-9c75-4a9528295cce","created_at":"2024-08-15T03:11:31.766Z","updated_at":null},{"id":"86404e56-0a3b-4dc6-9992-4823d43a467c","position":12,"title":"Book Recommendations","url":"https://www.instagram.com/reel/C909KBVpXaF/?igsh=ZnN3azEwamoxc3k5","note":"\n","image":{"url":"https://ucarecdn.com/b4f5e345-9295-4169-a570-d1d2b425c793/-/crop/4003x4000/1003,0/-/preview/","alt":"Book Recommendations","width":1200,"height":630},"direct_link":"https://stacklist.com/card/86404e56-0a3b-4dc6-9992-4823d43a467c","created_at":"2024-08-15T13:53:42.773Z","updated_at":null},{"id":"c2e43cd5-529d-459f-9282-ec8d9e1c7586","position":13,"title":"Food for Thought: Alton brown","url":"https://a.co/d/fOXUP34","note":"From cameraman to chef, musician to food scientist, Alton Brown has had a diverse and remarkable career.

And it's a story that's been believed ever since. Too bad it isn't true.Jonathan Lopez has drawn on never-before-seen documents from dozens of archives to write a revelatory new biography of the world's most famous forger. Neither unappreciated artist nor antifascist hero, van Meegeren emerges as an ingenious, dyed- in-the-wool crook--a talented Mr. Ripley armed with a paintbrush. Lopez explores a network of illicit commerce that operated across Europe: Not only was van Meegeren a key player in that high-stakes game in the 1920s and '30s, landing fakes with famous collectors such as Andrew Mellon, but he and his associates later cashed in on the Nazi occupation. The Man Who Made Vermeers is a long-overdue unvarnishing of van Meegeren's legend and a deliciously detailed story of deceit in the art world.","image":{"url":"https://ucarecdn.com/0331c766-0c02-47df-904c-8fe43b828fb9/","alt":"The Man Who Made Vermeers: Unvarnishing the Legend of Master Forger Han van Meegeren","width":1200,"height":630},"direct_link":"https://stacklist.com/card/bd31267c-9bf0-41b3-8eec-8ecf85aa431e","created_at":"2025-09-27T13:27:29.071Z","updated_at":null},{"id":"24b7af72-c5c4-4cbf-a087-c2feb33da982","position":20,"title":"Raising Mentally Strong Kids: How to... book by Charles Fay PhD","url":"https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/raising-mentally-strong-kids-how-to-combine-the-power-of-neuroscience-with-love-and-logic-to-grow-confident-kind-responsible-and-resilient-children-and-young-adults_daniel-g-amen-md_charles-fay-phd/39311096/item/57993085/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_new_condition_books_high_14637440387&utm_adgroup=&utm_term=&utm_content=545822004371&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAwtu9BhC8ARIsAI9JHakjUly3UpgwTcS1v2C-MyenXP3AApjt6pGG4auwgSMhEqMxx3xnZUEaAg_XEALw_wcB#idiq=57993085&edition=67591980","note":"Buy a cheap copy of Raising Mentally Strong Kids: How to... book by Charles Fay PhD.

This is the framework for meaningful connection.”\n\nDon’t miss the five-part Max docuseries Brené Brown: Atlas of the Heart!\n\nIn Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through eighty-seven of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances—a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heartbreaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection.\n \nOver the past two decades, Brown’s extensive research into the experiences that make us who we are has shaped the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with our lives. Atlas of the Heart draws on this research, as well as on Brown’s singular skills as a storyteller, to show us how accurately naming an experience doesn’t give the experience more power—it gives us the power of understanding, meaning, and choice.\n \nBrown shares, “I want this book to be an atlas for all of us, because I believe that, with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we can travel anywhere and never fear losing ourselves.”\n","image":{"url":"https://ucarecdn.com/487505b5-d374-4db4-b697-47d0ff584c60/-/preview/","alt":"Atlas of the Heart: Mapping Meaningful Connection and the Language of Human Experience: Brown, Brené","width":1200,"height":630},"direct_link":"https://stacklist.com/card/69a9beab-ba58-4e96-80f4-3f0573067344","created_at":"2025-11-03T20:24:33.261Z","updated_at":null},{"id":"03598ffc-6da9-4221-9847-2b22cbd2245a","position":22,"title":"Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste - Kindle edition by Bourdieu, Pierre, Nice,","url":"https://www.amazon.com/Distinction-Social-Critique-Judgement-Taste-ebook/dp/B099FFN1PK/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.hNAdcxSkl3h4qUyzLTh8kpprLWa_1cXbLDagyjp25lm0_R-rKwzxl4LYmJuuul7onZSACVZDK1OBkrphdDTXXS77fg5VtZoyt_-z4QEkQZx_JG6n8YrA0HWbh-lCvyQu3gEm1zEu7SBmz3iz1lMe669u4cHFmoN1oXkDm2Ccx-AvCn9U_1yxucfqZV4Y21mRGTbbbC1T1jyzwJK_9oITBZyMHxZgzRFtT3z3-SybPX8.ZhvloeInGCLixLIfL80lYlXn-8NmdCQPXMWpYrBeTyA&dib_tag=se&hvadid=557458441089&hvdev=c&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=9196089&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=15563136150596700057--&hvqmt=e&hvrand=15563136150596700057&hvtargid=kwd-344473815983&hydadcr=18006_13447338&keywords=distinction+book&mcid=4273ef48c3153d9fbc0963452a6ba500&qid=1763748193&sr=8-1","note":"No judgment of taste is innocent. In a word, we are all snobs. Pierre Bourdieu brilliantly illuminates this situation of the middle class in the modern world. France’s leading sociologist focuses here on the French bourgeoisie, its tastes and preferences. Distinction is at once a vast ethnography of contemporary France and a dissection of the bourgeois mind.\n\nIn the course of everyday life people constantly choose between what they find aesthetically pleasing and what they consider tacky, merely trendy, or ugly. Bourdieu bases his study on surveys that took into account the multitude of social factors that play a part in a French person’s choice of clothing, furniture, leisure activities, dinner menus for guests, and many other matters of taste. What emerges from his analysis is that social snobbery is everywhere in the bourgeois world. The different aesthetic choices people make are all distinctions—that is, choices made in opposition to those made by other classes. Taste is not pure. Bourdieu finds a world of social meaning in the decision to order bouillabaisse, in our contemporary cult of thinness, in the “California sports” such as jogging and cross-country skiing. The social world, he argues, functions simultaneously as a system of power relations and as a symbolic system in which minute distinctions of taste become the basis for social judgment.\n\nThe topic of Bourdieu’s book is a fascinating one: the strategies of social pretension are always curiously engaging. But the book is more than fascinating. It is a major contribution to current debates \n","image":{"url":"https://ucarecdn.com/d8eeb6e0-082f-40d8-9201-3155b2e9d358/","alt":"Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste - Kindle edition by Bourdieu, Pierre, Nice,","width":1200,"height":630},"direct_link":"https://stacklist.com/card/03598ffc-6da9-4221-9847-2b22cbd2245a","created_at":"2025-11-21T18:04:07.555Z","updated_at":null},{"id":"9d184a16-6daa-4953-bbf9-90163b6e1416","position":23,"title":"1491 | New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus by Mann, Charles","url":"https://www.amazon.com/1491-Revelations-Americas-Before-Columbus/dp/1400032059/ref=sr_1_2?crid=6XLDCCNMKNKK&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Zg7b9CEtquErDICgaB-0PCvmDtbssTXiPUA807hPscfbrnzFa7a44CZb36a-8mfxtmLMWXWNdb6t1K2IdWHhUrlZxBKRwCr_tE7zBPoCbkd4d5kapBMAsA-7kw3Kv_oynxyEA9RGhVyVU9unyUT9fs2Xd36rtAQ7-peBjpvcueCFfwx-NorsIzbJkFuRGzRQRmf-UCTQgbvIPERK5rGxgStNt-iYaBxEttWr3YKayjs.0pwhCRETJvCiaJsrut0Kf_-mLf7sz2gbbB3XSuLM0jU&dib_tag=se&keywords=1941+Book&qid=1764077307&sprefix=1941+boo%2Caps%2C178&sr=8-2","note":"A groundbreaking work of science, history, and archaeology that radically alters our understanding of the Americas before the arrival of Columbus in 1492—from “a remarkably engaging writer” (The New York Times Book Review).\n \nContrary to what so many Americans learn in school, the pre-Columbian Indians were not sparsely settled in a pristine wilderness; rather, there were huge numbers of Indians who actively molded and influenced the land around them. The astonishing Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan had running water and immaculately clean streets, and was larger than any contemporary European city. Mexican cultures created corn in a specialized breeding process that it has been called man’s first feat of genetic engineering. Indeed, Indians were not living lightly on the land but were landscaping and manipulating their world in ways that we are only now beginning to understand. Challenging and surprising, this a transformative new look at a rich and fascinating world we only thought we knew.\n","image":{"url":"https://ucarecdn.com/abc0eeab-d3a1-4d38-aaff-47141a441e78/-/crop/1511x1508/263,0/-/preview/","alt":"1491 | New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus by Mann, Charles","width":1200,"height":630},"direct_link":"https://stacklist.com/card/9d184a16-6daa-4953-bbf9-90163b6e1416","created_at":"2025-11-25T13:29:51.021Z","updated_at":null}],"stats":{"likes_count":0,"items_count":23},"_links":{"self":"/api/public/stack/mPFOqYYXEi4H8NDUbbTy.json","html":"https://stacklist.com/stack/mPFOqYYXEi4H8NDUbbTy","rss":"/api/feeds/stack/mPFOqYYXEi4H8NDUbbTy/rss","json_feed":"/api/feeds/stack/mPFOqYYXEi4H8NDUbbTy/json"}}
