Wenn ich so drüber nachdenke, waren die für mich wichtigsten politischen Bücher, die ich im letzten Jahr gelesen hatte "If We Burn" von Vincent Bevins, "Hope in the Dark" von Rebecca Solnit und vielleicht "Slow Down" von Kōhei Saitō. #2024reads

Hi @bookstodon , what were your favourite #2024Reads ? I somehow finished 58 books this year (plus a few more out loud to the kids). Here are four of my faves: Ann Leckie's strangest, darkly funny, contribution to her remarkable sci fi universe; the improbably moving story of the vampire Pitt the Younger at war with the kraken-summoning Napoleon; a twisty late 20th century SFF classic; and the bizarre true story of the first functionally immortal human cell line. #Bookstodon

CW: Review of "The Hundred Years' War on Palestine"; pol, genocide, zionism
I just finished "The Hundred Years' War on Palestine" by Rashid Khalidi. It's an introductory history of zionism and the genocide of the Palestinian people, making it clear beyond any shadow of a doubt that zionism was from the outset a colonial ideology, unconcerned with the fate of the Palestinians, and perpetrating (under all Israeli prime ministers!) a genocide.
Review of "The Hundred Years' War on Palestine"; pol, genocide, zionismIt's chronological, so it starts out in the 19th century at the beginnings¹ of zionism, showing that the leaders of early zionism either (at least in their public facing communication) didn't understand and care about the implications of their actions for the Palestinians or were well aware that violence would be necessary. It goes over Britain's support (including the treacherous Balfour Declaration) and how Jewish immigration was strongly encouraged to turn together with the murder of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian people in the Nakba and beyond the previously Arab land to an Jewish one, enabling the founding of modern Israel.
Since his family is what appears to be some kind of former Palestinian nobility, Rashid Khalidi has a lot of relatives involved in the history he describes, giving it a nice human touch. Once we come to the time of his own life, he can describe it even more personally and it is quite heart-wrenching to not only see genocide and the struggle against it abstractly talked about, but to see it from someone's first-person perspective.
He goes over the various revolts, wars, and diplomatic actions (including how the Oslo accords actually just modernized the Palestinian apartheid, not solved it anyhow) happening and that Hezbollah and Hamas were helped/built by Israel to undermine the secular Palestinian leadership of the PLO and Fatah.
Very nice for such an uninformed person like me is that he does not hesitate to say his opinion about an organization or person, helping me to understand what is what (for example that – in contrast to their quite similar names – the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Palestinian Liberation Front (PLF) are actually quite different – the PLO is the generally accepted leadership of the Palestinians, secular, and while in recent decades a bit ineffectual mostly quite good, while the PLF is a fringe organization, a front for an other regime (Iraq iirc), and mostly harmful to the Palestinian cause).
If you do not yet know about the history of Palestine/zionism well, I *very strongly* recommend you to read the book! It's a great summary of a very important topic and this post here has only summarized the book very quickly, leaving out most (e.g. I didn't even mention the US, even though the book very much does).
(¹ Technically it of course could be argued that the persecution that Jews faced the centuries before (which motivated zionism) is also part of zionism.)

I made it to 31 books this year, with many in-progress (isn't that always the way?) A fun year for reading, including all of NYC in the Akashic Noir series, a lot of 33 1/3 (as usual).
If pressed to pick a single favorite, it would have to go to David Mitchell's Utopia Avenue, one of the best music-related works of fiction I've ever read. Everything listed here in alphabetical order by author.

Keine ganz leichte Kost, aber wie immer eine lohnende beim leider ja schon verstorbenen #Graeber der hier mit seinem Freund #Wengrow zu ergründen sucht, ob die Menschheit wirklich mit der Landwirtschaft direkt in die Falle von Feudalismus und Krieg tappte.
Die überraschende Antwort lautet nein und es gibt sogar Hinweise das europäische Aufklärungs-Philosophen möglicherweise durch nordamerikanische #FirstNations beeinflusst worden sein könnten.

Ein Buch übers Schwimmen, erzählt wird eine jugendliche Schwimmkarriere und deren Ende.
Eigentlich aber geht es um Identität. Wer bist du, was bleibt übrig von dir, wenn das, was du liebst, dir alles abverlangt und sich dir trotzdem ständig entzieht?
Ein Gesamtkunstwerk, anekdotische Erzählungen mit Illustrationen und Gemälden und einer Präsentation der Badeanzugmodelle der Hauptfigur. @sauer_lauwarm was right, very much for me. <3

CW: Review of "Debt: The first 5000 years"
2024 is soon coming to a close, so if I still want to use the #2024reads hashtag for it I need to write the review for David Graeber's "Debt: The first 5000 years" soon. I struggle(d) quite a lot with writing one because as a history of debt it touches on so many topics and has such an important message that it's difficult to summarize. *Extremely* strong reading recommendation as it proves many of our deepest assumptions wrong.
It's freely available on the internet archive, so no reason not to read it:

Thomas Laschyk - Werbung für die Wahrheit
Überlasst die guten Geschichten nicht den Fake News..Gut beschrieben, was in der deutschen Medienlandschaft falsch läuft - oftmals (aber nicht immer) ohne böse Absicht, aber halt verantwortungslos....
Und: Niemand von uns ist immun dagegen.

"Warum möchtest du dich auslöschen?" Digital Native beendet ihre digitale Existenz und lebt analog, soweit das möglich ist im 21. Jhdt. und das ist tatsächlich sehr wenig weit. Ihre Strahlenangst lässt sie die Welt der Verschwörungstheoretiker*innen berühren, aber insgesamt scheint ihr Vorhaben agendalos zu sein, wie auch das Buch eher konsequenzenlos dahinwabert. Nicht uninteressant, aber doch etwas, nun ja, langweilig. #books #bookstodon #JeniferBecker #2024reads #frauenlesen #bücherliebe

61. Buch 2024
Harry Bingham - Fiona - den Toten verpflichtet.
Die Ermittlerin ist eine sehr ungewöhnliche Person, der Plot ist spannend.
#lesen #thriller #buchbubble -
Sehr innovativer, gut durchkomponierter Roman. Besonders interessant die sinistre Grundstimmung. Immer war ich in Erwartung einer Wendung zum Grässlichen, einer Bedrohung durch etwas kaum Fassbares, parallel zum Thema Panikstörung einer Protagonistin. Thema Alleinerziehende auch immer eine Herausforderung für mich, wenigstens stand nicht die Erziehung im Vordergrund, aber die Belastung blieb sehr spürbar. Schönes Buch, Empfehlung! #bookstodon #books #frauenlesen #2024reads #bücherliebe

Andreas Brandhorst - Das Bitcoin-Komplott

Familienschmerzensbuch 3/3
3 Generationen von Frauen, das System, die Muster, die Spiegelungen in den Biografien, die wiederkehrenden Themen vom Männerhaben und -nichthaben und Kinderkriegen und nicht und das Schweigen darüber. Auch Sprachkunst natürlich und austriazistischer Duktus, dass es sogar mir zuviel geworden ist. Schon lesenswert und eine Welt evozierend aber letztlich doch das am wenigsten Originelle von den 3en.

Familienschmerzensbuch 2/3.
Weird stuff. Die Schmerzen liegen diesmal auch in der Rezeption. Nicht leicht zu lesen, dieser blutige, eitrige Wust aus grundloser Grausamkeit, dazwischen wieder unerklärlich zärtlich. Aber mit Sog, abbrechen war keine Option. Es hilft, wenn man ca. gleich alt und auch eine Frau und auch vom Land ist.

"Repressive Kräfte hindern uns nicht an der Meinungsäußerung. Im Gegenteil, sie zwingen uns sogar dazu. Welche Befreiung ist es, einmal nichts sagen zu müssen und schweigen zu können, denn nur dann haben wir die Möglichkeit, etwas zunehmend Seltenes zu schaffen. Etwas, das es tatsächlich wert ist, gesagt zu werden."

Wieder feines Lesefutter, mit gutem Sog und schnell weggeschnupft. Der Mythos der Halbgöttin Circe feministisch gelesen, Tochter des Sonnengottes und einer Nymphe, sie entwickelt sich zur mächtigen Hexe, ihr Eigensinn gepaart mit Naivität helfen dabei, aber immer diese göttliche Vorsehung und Unsterblich-Sein ist scheinbar auch gar nicht so der Burner, weil dann nichts jemals wirklich endet (watch out, Peter T.!) #books #bookstodon #frauenlesen #MadelineMiller #2024reads #bücherliebe

Katie Mack: "The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking)"
I'm not reading physics & astro pop sci books often (I love other subjects, just not my own!), so it took ages until I came around to this one.
It's an absolute joy.
Which may seem a strange thing to say about a book on how the universe will end, but it seriously is. Clearly written, cutting edge science, to the point, in a fun voice (+ sounds bites from @freyablekman). Recommended.

CW: Review of How Infrastructure Works
Just finished "How Infrastructure Works: Inside the Systems That Shape Our World" by Deb Chachra. It describes how we're reliant on infrastructure (and how they get threatened by climate change), how the vast energy that they give us access to gives us agency, vastly surpassing that which historically many people had and many people in the global south still have today, and that infrastructural solutions are much more efficient then individual ones. It also quickly mentions how the earth receives an overabundance of energy from the sun and argues that with the advent of usable solar energy (and therefore the decoupling of energy usage from greenhouse gas emissions) we should not anymore think of *energy* as scarce, but of materials – a reversal from how we used to think.
Apart from that it doesn't say a lot – a couple of interesting things, like the concept of "charismatic megastructure", are interspersed, but all in all it is a couple times longer than it should be. It also seems like the author doesn't really know what audience it's targeted at (it explains things in excruciating detail which I would expect every high school student to know, but also discusses things at length that should only be discussed in engineering circles) and it becomes clear that her political knowledge is only what one would expect from an educated person suffering under multiple marginalizations (when proofreading this review I saw that she apparently is an anti-colonial and feminist activist, so this assessment is wrong – it really didn't feel like that when reading the book though…). As such I can't in good conscience recommend it for people who aren't *very* politically educated and therefore can ignore the bad parts and even for those few I would only recommend it if you're severely bored.
-
CW: Discussion of Doppelganger
The other review I still have pending is for "Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World" by Naomi Klein. It starts out describing how she (Naomi *Klein*) is often confused with Naomi *Wolf*, so much that it feels like she (Wolf) is a doppelganger of her (Klein). Starting out as a liberal white feminist, Wolf spiraled into conspiracy myths and allying with Nazis during the start of the corona pandemic after the embarrassment of the reveal of her strong lack of scientific rigor in late 2019. This caused Klein (a staunch leftist) to focus more on her now much more different and concerning double and her new opinions and how this shift from center-left to far right could happen. This she uses as a spring board to further analyze other ideological "doppelganger" situation.
Her central realization is that if we (i.e. the left) start to neglect a genuine issue (e.g. the ubiquitous invasion of our privacy or that even "privileged" white rural men part of the proletariat don't have it good under capitalism), the right uses this to fish people rightly worried about it and twists it to suit their nazi agenda.
She spends more time on the Wolf doppelganger issue than I would have liked, but all in all it's an very good book (which this summary does not do justice) and I most *strongly* recommend everyone to read it. I learned a lot from it, both about her actual point (which I consider to be very important) and about many topics touched on in passing (most importantly Canada's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (which just happened again a couple days ago) and the Palestine issue).

CW: Spoiler for/discussion of The Bezzle, passing mention of drugs and racism
There are a couple book reviews I have not yet written, so now: "The Bezzle" by Cory Doctorow (yes, him again, I have a severe crush on him apparently).
It's the second book in the Martin Hench Series started last year by Red Team Blues and takes place a couple of decades early (proofreading this currently and it's actually 2006) and is again from the perspective of Martin Hench (otherwise the series name would be a bit weird…). It tells the story of a friend of him landing in prison due to some bullshit reason (three strikes rule), how prisoner are mistreated by the freest county on earth and it's private prisons system, what he does to try to keep his friend's stay at least somewhat tolerable (spoiler: LSD is apparently really good and it's a shame (read: grave injustice) that all the drugs (except the two most dangerous ones…) were sacrificed on the alter of racism with the War on Drugs) and why this all happens (spoiler: capitalism and corruption).
The Bezzle is like all(?) fiction books by Cory Doctorow just a thinly veiled (successful) attempt of wrapping his politics and current interests in an format that is palatable to an audience that doesn't like dense&dry political reading (if you rather have non-fiction, read his also nicely written blog Pluralistic: https://pluralistic.net/), so more or less all the history (which there is a lot of) is accurate (including most importantly how prisoners are mistreated).
Looking at it purely as a novel, it's a … fine book (the late beginning is not very engaging but still ok, the prelude and from the middle onward it's a very awesome). Given that it's not only that though, it's a very good book and I very much can recommend it.

I first encountered #VandanaSingh in Dozois' Year's Best collections (which I SO miss). A physics & environment professor, she writes deeply poetic speculative - sometimes science, but not only - fiction, often rooted in Indian mythology.
My favorite in this collection is "Indra's Web" is somewhat different: pure #hopepunk & #solarpunk: something small that will ripple around the world and feels truly reachable already today. Read it on a dark day. Hope.
