**THIS WEEK!**

READING GROUP: "College of Sociology" Tue July 19 @ 7pm
Presented by the Durham Public School (durham.thepublicschool.org),[1] this
is a group for discussing the works of the College of Sociology, a
loosely-knit group of French intellectuals, which lectured from 1937 to 1939.
They focused on the way that human communities engaged in collective rituals
or acts of distribution. It was here, in moments of intense communal
experience, rather than the individualistic dreams and reveries of
surrealism, that the College of Sociology sought the essence of humanity.
(If you're interested in this group, email ibooks AT internationalistbooks.org
for a link to the readings, or you can find them online--Dennis Hollier's
anthology on The College of Sociology)

TRANS DISCUSSION GROUP: Wed July 20 @ 8pm
Co-hosted by the North Carolina Harm Reduction Coalition and
Internationalist Books, is a bi-monthly support/discussion group for people
who identify as trans, genderqueer, or gender-questioning. Our meetings will
provide a safe space for folks to share and process experiences, be of
support to one another, and organize around issues that affect the trans
community.

Open to anyone who needs/wants trans support. Tea and snacks will be provided!

CROATAN EARTH FIRST! MOVIE NIGHT: "If a Tree Falls: A Story of the
Earth Liberation Front" Thu July 21 @ 7pm

mild-mannered, middle-class citizen driven to extremes and brought to trial
on charges of terrorism for his participation in ELF-related arson plots.

fundraiser, which will be taking place at the Chapel of the Cross, 304 E.
Franklin St. (next to the Planetarium).

There will be many items up for bid; there's sure to be something you're
interested in. Come meet and mingle with fellow Internationalist Books
members and volunteers and help support the store and community space you
all love so much by bidding on some items, renewing your membership, or by
signing up to our monthly sustainer program.

Heavy hors d'oeuvres will be lovingly provided by Vimala's Curryblossom Cafe!

**If you cannot attend the event but want to help out, please visit
http://www.internationalistbooks.org/index.php?q=civicrm/contribute/tran...
to sign up for our sustainer program. You can choose the amount and
frequency of your donation. Any contribution is welcome, as we have trouble
over the summer months making ends meet. We would love to be able to provide
the community as much as we can but are often limited
by our expenses, so we are looking forward to having that extra help every
month from our sustainers.**
