@kangborderlaw has asked me to share my picks for #6books6people. Here’s my stack of books in progress for research, teaching and pleasure!
Finishing @dsharfstein wonderfully engaging history of Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce war, which I had to put down, half read at the end of last summer
Reading @Isabelwilkerson ‘s powerful The Warmth of Other Suns on the Great Migration and John Washington’s new book, The Dispossessed, about the current humanitarian crisis for asylum seekers — for possible use in courses.
The fabulous collection of essays in A Nation of Immigrants Reconsidered, edited by @irpinaingiro , Madeline Hsu, and @ithacamcg
For myself: “The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down” (Hmong family in CA confronts US medical system.). On my shelf for years
Finally, Virginia Woolf’s “Mrs. Dalloway”, because I have been devouring novels about London since I had to leave abruptly in March. And shouldn’t everyone have read this book?
For #6books6people , I would like to see 6 books from @amandademmer , @VictoriaSWoeste , @jlgrisinger , @NeillChief , @bmcgover , @kmtani , @johnsohi , @drdaveatkinson
