There is No God!

My girlfriend is doing a critical analysis of Jakie Collins novels as her "critique" on American sociology - in particular the failure of the American Dream, Corruption of Capitalism, Feminism (Liberal, Pro+Anti Sex, Black)
and would like some books which look into critiques of capitalism (how it exploits others, class cycles and maybe something on anarcha-feminism.)
Any help would by much appreciated

The Meaning of Marxism by Paul D'amato (http://www.amazon.com/Meaning-Marxism-Paul-DAmato/dp/1931859299) serves for beginners. It's not anarchist related, obviously, but the author brings up the Marxist perspective on feminism.

I actually have this fuck-off big book on radical sociology from America (it was written in the 60's - it's not hippy shit, more like Situationist-esque writing) if you want to borrow it off me.

Wow, that sounds perfect man. I'll contact you when she gets back from a trip she's on to the country in a few days.

Das Kapital (vol. 1, the others were written by Engels from the notes of Marx), The Society of the Spectacle, and Days of War, Nights of Love are the Holy Trinity to me.

Tong, Rosemary (1989) "Feminist Thought: A Comprehensive Introduction" (Routledge) is a good starter. Gives a pretty decent analysis of many scopes of feminist thought.
