The Great Wells of Democracy: The Meaning Of Race In American Life, by Manning Marable
On Intersectionality: Essential Writings, by Kimberlé Crenshaw
The Great Wells of Democracy -- an exhaustive look at the causes and effects of racism in America --is "an older book that reads like prophecy right now," says Blair LM Kelley, assistant dean of interdisciplinary studies and international programs at North Carolina State University.
For anyone who wants to understand the complex, overlapping forces of discrimination in the world today, she also recommends On Intersectionality: Essential Writings, written by UCLA law professor Kimberlé Crenshaw, who first coined the term "intersectionality" in a 1989 essay.

Who Speaks For Islam?: What a Billion Muslims Really Think, by John L. Esposito and Dalia Mogahed
"It's an accessible book that directly addresses the questions and misconceptions many people have about Islam, such as whether or not Islam promotes terrorism and the oppression of women, and whether or not Islam is compatible with democracy," says Evelyn Alsultany, director of the Arab and Muslim American Studies Program at the University of Michigan.
The book, based on six years of research and more than 50,000 interviews with Muslims across the world, gives "insight into the perspectives of a very diverse population."

Whipping Girl, by Julia Serano
The Geek Feminist Revolution, by Kameron Hurley
"Julia Serano's Whipping Girlis one that I think a lot of people could benefit from reading," says feminist, writer and activist Bailey Poland. "Julia is a trans woman who has written brilliantly on how femininity continues to be the target of sexist attacks (including, sometimes, by feminists), and her work is invaluable."
Poland also also suggests Kameron Hurley's Geek Feminist Revolution, "for a more geek culture/writing emphasis that cuts across multiple demographics. Plus it's a collection of essays, which might be more digestible for readers who want smaller chunks."
