Have been listening to audiobooks during my bouts of menial labour and have kind of run dry on things to listen to that aren’t orthodox Marxism-Leninism. And while I did make a study guide for myself that covers Orthodox ML & Chinese socialism and annotated everything for which I could find an audiobook; I’d still like to learn more about socialism outside of the West and China.
This is what I’ve listened to so far:
Writers from the Global South
- Walter Rodney: How Europe Underdeveloped Africa
- Ho Chi Minh - Down with Colonialism!
- Eduardo Galeano - Open Veins of Latin America
Western Writers about the Global South
The recommendations don’t have to centre around socialism, and I’d be more than willing to pay for the content. I just don’t know what to listen to next. Kind of out of my depth. I did find Che’s on Guerilla Warfare, but I haven’t started listening to it yet.
I don’t know if this is what you’re looking for, but Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth (example audiobook) was interesting. (If you prefer audiobooks with commentary, the fourth season of the Marx Madness podcast covers this book.)
Actually stumbled up on that one. Got really weirded out by it being read in that accent.
I could give it another try. What did you think of it?
It seems to be on OverDrive for some libraries, so you could also check there.
