disrupt the revolution. Tonight, at 7pm, they will share what
they heard.

*WEDNESDAYS, NOVEMBER 9, 16, 30 - 'SEARCHING FOR RADICAL IDEAS?' SERIES
WITH PROFESSOR WILLIAM MANSON @ IBOOKS, 6:30pm*
Internationalist Books is proud to announce a series of informal talks
by radical philosopher/anthropologist William Manson held on Wednesday
evenings at 6:30pm throughout the month of November. Activists often
seek a greater understanding of radical theory and these discussions
seek to enlighten those who are looking to broaden their base of knowledge.
November 9 -- THE PSYCHOLOGY OF "FASCISM": What is authoritarian
narcissism, and how does it impact racist imperialism and
military-industrialism?
November 16 -- GREEN ANARCHISM: What is green anarchism and its related
ideas of neo-Luddism, radical ecology, and ecopsychology?
November 30 -- REVIVING RADICAL HUMANISM: Discussing universal rights
and liberties. "The free development of each is based on the free
developing of all."
William Manson (Ph.D., Columbia) has written books and articles on
psychoanalytic anthropology and social theory. For many years an
adjunct professor at Rutgers and Columbia, he is now teaching such
courses as "Dissent & Integrity" and "Technology in Question" at Duke's
Continuing Studies.

LOUNGE, DEY HALL, UNC-CH, 3:30pm
“Lost Voices of the Afro-Celts”, in the Centering the American South
lecture series of the Center for the Study of the American South at the
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. This lecture will explore
some of the forgotten connections between African-Americans and Scottish
Highlanders and remind us of the rich cultural interactions between
people of all ethnic origins in our complex nation. Lecturer Dr Michael
Newton has a PhD in Celtic Studies from the University of Edinburgh. He
has written several books and numerous articles on Highland history and
tradition, and has become the leading scholar on the culture and history
of immigrant Highland communities in the United States. He is a fluent
Gaelic speaker, a proponent of Highland song and dance, and a published
creative writer in the Gaelic language.
