Freewater by Amina Luqman-Dawson is a historical middle-grade novel about two enslaved children's escape from a plantation and the many ways they find freedom. Being the World Over by Kung Li Sun is a counterfactual novel about the Founders' greatest fear - that Black and Indigenous people might join forces to undo the newly formed United States of America - coming true.

 Added to the Rad Mini Library is "Street Rebellion: Resistance Beyond Violence and Nonviolence" by Benjamin S. Case (Author). From AK Press: In a style that bridges the divide between academia and activism, Street Rebellion develops a broader and more accurate understanding of how people struggle for liberation.  We are living in a time of uprisings that routinely involve physical confrontation—burning vehicles, barricades, vandalism, and scuffles between protesters and authorities. Yet the Left has struggled to incorporate rioting into theories of change, remaining stuck in recurring debates over violence and nonviolence. Civil resistance studies have popularized the term “strategic nonviolence,” spreading the notion that violence is wholly counter-productive. Street Rebellion scrutinizes recent research and develops a broad and grounded portrait of the relationship between strategic nonviolence and rioting in the struggle for liberation.
