O manifesto socialista - Em defesa da politica… von Bhaskar Sunkara
Armas da Crítica 03 - Janeiro de 2021
Please see my review essay of this book, together with Robinson's 'Why You Should Be A Socialist,' here:

If you only read one of these books, make it Robinson's. Despite a horrific introduction, this is a nice book. The best thing in Sunkara's book, on the contrary, is the excellent introduction.

Part II is about what has happened since 2000 and the possibilities for the future. A much easier read and very hopeful.

Reichhold, Griechische Vasenmalerei; Auswahl hervorragender Vasenbilder (Munchen, 1904), PI. 51. The image shows the Greek hero Heracles before the altar on which the Egyptian king Busiris tried to sacrifice him like other strangers before him. Heracles runs amuck, dispatches Busiris, tramples and flings around his servants, all clearly recognizable as Egyptians." I shouldn't have to had waited this long to find out that Heracles was a black super hero before he became a Greek god.… (mehr)
