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 the Introduction.
Next week, we will be reading Chapter 1: New Jerusalem.
15 minutes in-and-done, and frankly I’m already lost 😅
I’ll probably understand better once we begin reading chapter 1…maybe?
Is there anything in particular that you’re confused by?
It had a lot of topics in a short period, I frankly couldn’t keep it all in my head, not particularly anything confused me, just the sum of it
