INTERNATIONALIST BOOK CLUB: REMEMBERING REET & SHINE - MON. MARCH 21

Please join the Internationalist Book Club for a discussion of 
"Remembering Reet and Shine: Two Black Men, One Struggle" on Monday 
March 21 at 7:30pm at the bookstore. Author Michael Schwalbe will be 
attending! He will present a slide show on the life of Reet and Shine. 
Copies of the book are available at the store.

Matthew Mason and Anthony Atwater, two working-class African Americans 
who lived and died in the American South, led double lives. To family 
and the black community, they were local men, fathers, and companions. 
In the dominant white world, where they earned their wages, they were 
known by their nicknames, Dr. Reet and Shine. In this dual biography, 
Michael Schwalbe finds these monikers to be both endearing and 
degrading. Like other black men of their era, Mason and Atwater created 
personas. Mason became "Dr. Reet," a witty entertainer to his white 
employers. Atwater became "Shine," a streetwise stud who was skilled in 
love and violence. Each persona seemed like a solution, but bore 
unanticipated costs.
