A reading list for sabbatical and work plan

For the projects that I have decided to take on, I need to read in a few different areas, including Black Feminism, revolutionary mothering, the lives of women, Critical Race Theory, Indigenous Studies, and some select volumes of poetry.  These are the books that I have with me or that should be arriving soon, should I ever get my boxes through Italian customs.

1. Home Girls:  A Black Feminist Anthology
2. Well-Read Black Girl:  Finding Our Stories, Discovering Ourselves
3. Black Girl Magic
4. A Burst of Light and Other Essays
5. The M Archive
6. Spill:  Scenes of Black Feminist Fugitivity
7. Revolutionary Mothering:  Love on the Front Lines (re-read)
8. Sister Outsider:  Essays and Speeches
9. But Some of Us Are Brave:  Black Women's Studies
10. Not That Bad:  Dispatches from Rape Culture (re-read)
11. Letters to the Future:  Black Women/Radical Writing
12. Black Nature:  Four Centuries of African American Nature Poetry
13. Critical Race Theory anthology (re-read)
14. Critical Indigenous Studies:  Engagements in First World Locations
15. As We Have Always Done:  Indigenous Freedom through Radical Resistance
16. Stereo.Island.Mosaic.
17. Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude
18. Of Gods & Strangers

I also need to do some reading about teachers of military dependents for a class I want to propose and I imagine that some other through lines will pop up along the way.  My thought is to also do some pulling of a few key quotes along the way here and some writing inspired by that.
