I also joined the "Read Around the World" challenge. I look forward to exploring more global literature!

I started a challenge on Storygraph for the recommended reading booklist on the 500 Years of Dignity and Resistance website. They're all books on Native American politics, history, and issues.

Any of you on Storygraph?

I think I'm just not well-read enough yet to figure out how to apply the paradigm more broadly.

Sure, I'm attracted to the extent & intensity of power variables, but that isn't new.

Extent = how many people do your actions affect?
Intensity = to what degree do your actions affect them?
(A simplification)

I read "Power: a processual view" by Rein Raud (Aug 2025). I appreciate the parsimony of this view of power. It could be quite useful for qualitative research, but I'm still puzzling how one could quantify increases/decreases to possible futures or imagined futures, given their inherent fuzziness.
