This is a weekly thread in which we read through books on and related to imperialism and geopolitics. Last week’s thread is here.
The book we are currently reading through is Empire’s Workshop by Greg Grandin. There are two main editions, to my knowledge: the original one with a yellow cover from 2006, and an updated version from 2021 with an orange cover. I am reading the latter version.
Please comment or message me directly if you wish to be pinged for this group, or if you no longer wish to be pinged.
This week, we will be reading Chapter 3.
Next week, we will be reading Chapter 4.
@[email protected] In response to your comment last thread - any thread can be used to discuss any chapter discussed so far. In general, I wouldn’t really advise people commenting in the older threads as you’re unlikely to get anybody but me reading and responding to them and it’s harder to moderate old threads, but there’s nothing really wrong with doing so. Feel free to post your links here too!
I more meant whether “any chapter discussed so far” included the current one, which people are ostensibly just starting on today? But I understand contextually that your comments are regarding chapter 3 so its clearer to me now.
