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.
