I read about this book in _Get Up Stand Up_ by Bruce E. Levine, which I think would be a great addition to your list.

I'm still reading it, but his background is psychology with a sprinkling of radical politics. His thesis in this book is that voter apathy comes from lack of confidence from several quarters. Our country has gotten so big and our government so connected to big business that our "votes" don't really count. He calls it corporatoracy; don't know if he coined that word or borrowed it. Levine's psychology/political philosophy is based on Martin-Boro's ideas. Still reading and processing the ideas, but these books go hand-in-hand from what I can tell. Hopefully I'll get a decent review written before long. (I tend to read about a zillion books at once and don't review them all properly.) ;) Hope my uninvited comment wasn't inappropriate.
I wish I had time to explore these kinds of work right now, but it will have to wait, or be a slow go - life is a circus right now! I'm glad you didn't mind me intruding. I generally don't have any goodreads/facebook friends that aren't in-real-life friends, but would you like to be goodreads friends? We might like to see what the other is reading.
