I'm currently going through an anthology, Who Should Be First? Feminists Speak Out on the 2008 Presidential Campaign. It's about the intersection of race and gender during the Democratic primary and Obama's election. I'm familiar with many of the arguments made so I'm treating it as a tine capsule and a rough way to see how attitudes towards them both changed over the course of the primary.

I also finished Native American Religious Identity: Unforgotten Gods edited by Jace Weaver, another anthology about the intersection of traditional Amerindian beliefs and Christianity. I liked it, although if you're not too familiar with native issues it might take a while to ease into it. Also, man, as an author Andrea Smith really gets around; she was in both of the anthologies I read. It makes sense if you're looking for a famous native feminist she's definitely top three, but still. My next non-fiction book after I finish my current stuff is A Fish Caught in Time: The Search of the Coelacanth because I've had it for ages just collecting dust.

I have Keith Thompson's book on the coelacanth Living Fossil and was wondering about that one you mentioned  It was a good book, but it's not really about the coelacanth but the people who 'discovered' it and such. If you have the time, I wouldn't say don't read it, but it won't blow your mind if you're already reading other books about coelacanths.  Then again, I'm no ichthyologist.
