Readings in Decolonial and Race Theory

This is the beginnings of a wiki on decolonial and race theory.
Feel free to add and sort entries, insert headings, etc., and to link to copies available online. Everything from blog articles to zines to academic books is welcome, but try to keep it to core texts or have a separate section for special interest stuff.
