Resistance & Resilience Community Book Discussion. Where We Stand: Class Matters
Food for Thought Books, dijous, octubre 3, 2013 a les 6pm
Join Food For Thought in kicking off the first monthly community book discussion Resistance & Resilience. The evening discussion will focus on experiences of class and how they matter to each us. You're invited to read the selected book (but it's not a requirement!).
Resistance & Resilience is a reading group founded with the intention of deconstructing writings with social justice-related concepts. Our desire is to invite people from the community to join our discussion, thus bringing many sets of experiences and knowledges into a safe and informative space. Resistance & Resilience meets on the first Thursday of the month from 6-7:30pm.
Hosted by Katie Gartner and Saera Hanlon, Resistance & Resilience invites the community to join them in reading Where We Stand: Class Matters by bell hooks. You can order a copy here.
Please note: if you purchase the book at Food For Thought, you'll receive it at a discounted price of $20. Just let us know that you're joining this group.
The book description is as follows: "Drawing on both her roots in Kentucky and her adventures with Manhattan Coop boards, Where We Stand is a successful black woman's reflection--personal, straight forward, and rigorously honest--on how our dilemmas of class and race are intertwined, and how we can find ways to think beyond them."
Planning on attending? Let the organizers know by emailing katie.gartnerATgmailDOTcom.
Support and sustain Food For Thought by making a sliding scale donation of $5-$7 at the meeting. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. (afegit de IndieBound)… (més)
