Most of those topics will be convered by the MF BHM Reading List we're assembling. It's probably at 100 items so far, only a very few of which are online yet. We're building the list over the Web, so you can peek at it here: http://monkeyfist.com:8080/morgue/politics/BHM/reading/ It'll be on http://bhm.monkeyfist.com/ when it's done (which should be by the end of Feb).
