Radical Books Collective

Radical Books Collective creates an alternative, inclusive and non-commercial approach to books and reading. Radical books stimulate our imaginations to advance transformative futures. Radical books expose structures of oppression and chart creative paths forward. Such books alter our understanding of historical events, amplify the voices of marginalized groups, and account for the costs of persecution and repression. The Radical Books Collective organizes virtual book clubs, book and author events and immersive seminars on foundational radical books.
