Larry Mosqueda, the faculty for my class next quarter, was nice enough to e-mail us the book list quite early — I wasn’t expecting to request it for another week, at least. Thanks, Larry!

I probably won’t pick up the recommended books; any book titles in bold above are ones I still need to pick up. The latest of Zinn’s A People’s History of the United States actually seems to be ISBN 0-06-052837-0. This is the copy I picked up, so hopefully it’ll suffice (I suspect, since this is only the book list that was requested from Evergreen’s bookstore, they may carry the same edition).
I’m a glutton for punishment. This book list should make that obvious.
