An image of the cover of “A Day in the Life of Abed Salama” by Nathan Thrall.

Quietly devastating, absolutely eye opening, and, sadly, even more timely than it was when it was published. #ADayInTheLifeOfAbedSalama #ReadAndResist #ResistanceReads #BookSky

The top image in the collage is of the opening page of this book and is a quote "Nationalism is inseparable from the desire for power" The bottom left image is of the back cover of the book which reads: Biting and timeless reflections on patriotism, prejudice and power, from the man who wrote about his nation better than anyone. The bottom right image is the front cover of this book and reads: George Orwell, Notes on nationalism. This is the short book that I'm currently reading and consists of following 3 short essays by George Orwell. Essay 1 - Notes on nationalism. Essay 2 - Antisemitism in Britain. Essay 3 - The sporting spirit.

Book cover of Agent Zo by Clare Mulley

“No news quickly became the norm as the press was tightly controlled, civilian telephones were disconnected…and the postal service was monitored…A few days later, a team of security services officers drove round to arrest Zo.” Poland, 1981 (!) #AgentZo #ResistanceReads #ReadAndResist

I acknowledge my naïveté in truly believing the I’d never see the day when the US banned books. Yet here we are.

In the spirit of lifelong learning—and reading all the ‘naughty’ books out there—let’s share what’s enlightening us these days.
