For a more recent survey of Critical Race Theory, see Melissa Pahruksachart's "The Literature of White Liberalism"

Not to mention classics like Franz Fanon's "The Wretched of the Earth," which was adopted into an excellent documentary narrated by Ms. Lauryn Hill called "Concerning Violence" (2015). In terms of Black aesthetics and art, I would recommend Martine Sym's "Afro-Futurist Manifesto."

Hannah Arendt's seminal book, "On Totalitarianism" is a great entry into understanding fascism and pairs well with Sheldon Wolin's concept of inverted totalitarianism.

For a critique of neo-liberalism, see David Graeber's work on debt and his critique of bullshit jobs.

For something more philosophical on ecology and posthumanism checkout Timothy Morton's 2016 book, "Humanism."
