Rest Is Resistance: A Manifesto by Tricia Hersey

Important information, but it could have been an essay. Black Americans in the United States who are the descendants of people who were enslaved have been given significantly less ability to rest than white Americans. The descendants of people who were treated as property are likely going to have complex relationships with owning property (i.e., a business), to say nothing of the difficulty under capitalism for Black people to acquire a business. That means they are disproportionately impacted by the work requirements that prohibit/restrict rest.
