Typically I read two books simultaneously: one fiction, one non fiction. I love audiobooks, and usually follow the same pattern. So two books in text, two books in audio simultaneously. Sometimes, when I want to get through a book quick, I'll do both audio and text.

Decolonization, destruction of white supremecy, and battling ethnic-nationalism should be enough to bring together most of the work. Alas, no. Compares Zionism with White supremacism and Hindu supremacism, showing how the influences entangle. So many literary references! So righteous! The “colour line” undergirds this. We are all victims of modernity — clashing narratives of the Shoah, slavery, and colonialism.
Black- and African-Jewish relations. The premier event of the 20th C was not WW2, or the end of the Cold War, but decolonization. ”US war-making abroad, and race-making at home” adds to the strife between east and west.
