ulvir posted:Bourdieu is a good read too, maybe not entirely leftist, but Distinction is pretty good (and well known for linking taste to class and cultural capital and such), it has its limits outside the very specific french societal context, but can still be a useful read even today Hell yeah Bordieu owns. Along with Distinction, Outline of a Theory of Practice.

But for my money the Raymond Williams and the Birmingham School are the best because they're not unaware of Lacan but they're not infected by him either.

PeterWeller posted:Gloria Anzaldua's Borderlands/La Frontera: The New Mestiza explores how racism and national boundaries affect the identities of their victims. That book kicks astounding amounts of rear end. Life-changing for me. It's funny, I wouldn't necessarily have considered it "leftist lit" just because the viewpoint is in some ways too original to fit in any box, though Anzaldua is obviously a leftist. cda fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Aug 28, 2020 |

Joe Chill posted:The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. Great exposition of the Gilded Age but imo as a novel it falls apart about 3/4 of the way through which is too bad because up until then it is also gripping. Even though there second half is indispensable for showing the operations of machine politics etc. when I recommend it I tell people the first half is a must-read and then after that, read as much as you can get through before you get bored. Sinclair loses the human element as he casts his social criticism more broadly.
