Hello everyone!
This week we have four events at the store, so there's sure to be
something to pique anyone's interest! Without further ado:
MON DEC 13 - World History: Anarcho-Folk-Pop Duo from Seattle! @6pm
The Anarcho-Folk-Pop Duo will be here in the evening to perform songs
from their album "You Can't Stop Trying".
Give them a listen at http://worldhistory.bandcamp.com/!
Their songs are mostly about historical characters and events that are
rarely talked about in compulsory school textbooks, and their lyrics
provide hints of their anarchist anti-politics. Whether performing a
raucous, triumphant historical retelling or a foot-stomping
sing-along, World History continues to captivate audiences from living
room to back porch.
Dan Mac will be opening for World History, so don't miss it!
TUES DEC 14 - Imaginal Machines: Book Reading/Discussion with Stevphen
Shukaitis @7pm
All power to the imagination? Over the past forty years to invoke the
imagination as a basis for radical politics has become a cliché: a
rhetorical utilization of ideas already in circulation. But what
exactly is radical imagination? Come join Stevphen Shukaitis for a
discussion of his book Imaginal Machines: Autonomy & Self-Organization
in the Revolutions of Everyday Life (Autonomedia, 2009), which
explores the potentials and limits of collective imagination in social
movement organizing.
WED DEC 15 - December Political Prisoner Letter Writing Night @7pm
Join Internationalist Books and the Internationalist Prison Books
Collective for
December's Political Prisoner Letter Writing Night, Wednesday December 15!
Come and write a birthday card to political prisoners whose birthdays
fall in the month of December. They're sure to need some love during
the Holiday season!
This month we will be writing:
Ed Poindexter - an ex-Black Panther targeted by FBI's COINTELPRO,
Tsutomu Shirosaki - a Japanese national accused of being a part of the
Japanese Red Army,
Zolo Ahona Azania - a former Black Panther convicted of a bank robbery,
Fred Burton - an innocent man convicted in a sham trial for killing a cop, and
Jerome White-Bey - an anarchist prison activist who has helped to
fight slave labor in prisons by organizing the Missouri Prison Labor
Union.

THU DEC 16 - Croatan EF! Movie Night: "River of Waste" @7pm
Join Internationalist Books and Croatan Earth First! for our monthly
Earth First! movie screening. This month's selection is "A River of
Waste"
"This documentary exposes a huge health and environmental scandal in
the nation's modern industrial system of meat and poultry production.
Scientists have even called the practices of these companies as mini
Chernobyls. In U.S. and around the world, the meat and poultry
industry is dominated by a large number of toxins and by dumping large
amounts of sewage into the environment. The film shows the vast impact
these companies make on the environment and public health and focuses
on the individual lives that have been damaged and destroyed because
of these farms."
