Brianstorming sources for a radical democracy--writing course (or something like that!)

Books I considered using for Summer/Fall 2004 courses... (these were the ones that didn't make it but they are very good) and a random brainstorm of possible online sources ;) just seeing what is out there... anyone have any good sources along these lines?
