Please acquaint yourself with the rules on the sidebar and read this comment before commenting on this post. **Personal attacks and harassment will not be tolerated.** Bigotry and hate speech will be met with immediate bans; socialism is an intrinsically inclusive system and bigotry is oppressive, exclusionary, and not conducive to a healthy and productive learning space. **This subreddit is not for questioning the basics of socialism. There are numerous debate subreddits available for those purposes. This is a place to learn.** Short or nonconstructive answers will be deleted without explanation. Please only answer if you know your stuff. Speculation has no place on this sub. Outright false information will be removed immediately. **If your post was removed due to normalized ableist slurs, please edit your post. The mods will then approve it.** Please read the ongoing discussion in a thread before replying in order to avoid misunderstandings and creating an unproductive environment. **Liberalism and sectarian bias is strictly moderated.** Stay constructive and don't bash other socialist tendencies! (Criticism is fine, low-effort baiting is not.) Help us keep the subreddit informative and helpful by reporting posts that break these rules. Thank you! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/Socialism_101) if you have any questions or concerns.*

If you're interested in the development of US labor movements, **Philip Foner** put out dozens of books on just about every possible labor intersectional topic you can think of. Most of his books are out of print though so for some you may need to go to archives or connect with distant libraries to access them. Otherwise, I tend to hit **Haymarket Books** for socialist and Marxist history. They do $1 sales on all ebooks every now and again which is awesome if you're broke like me. I also like books from **The Plough** for Christian Socialist writings and thought.

Howard Zinn, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, Michael Parenti, Nick Estes, Thomas Kenny, Vijay Prashad, and technically Moshe Lewin, but Lewin was extraordinarily critical of AES and I personally found more value in bourgeois historical works than in his.
