From @redemmas in Baltimore to @PilsenCommBooks in Chicago, co-op bookstores show what happens when culture is treated as a public good—not just another product to be optimized, extracted from and sold back to us.

Here’s @FromSteveHowell talking about his book Cold War Puerto Rico at @redemmas in Baltimore. Highly recommended!

Cold War Puerto Rico exposes how the US has used threats, repression and covert action to keep the island a colony.
It's on sale via most retailers. In the UK and Ireland only, you can buy it via my website for £20 inc P&P using PayPal/credit card, see: steve-howell.com/cold-war-pu…
