Immerse yourself in a literary realm where academia meets activism, and pop culture converges with politics. This book list features works authored by the multifaceted Marc Lamont Hill — academic, journalist, activist, and television personality known for his profound insights into African-American culture, politics, and education — as well as titles by writers that he recommends in interviews, such as his hero Malcolm X.

From the historical and legal context of Palestine to the cultural resonance of hip-hop, this collection navigates the pressing topics of racial justice, the evolving dynamics of social media, the critical examination of policing, and the fervor of protests - all through the lens of Hill's progressive standpoint.
