COME CHECK THIS BOOK OUT: “In-dependence” From Bondage: This book compares (and brings into light) the relevant worldviews of Afro-Caribbean poet/novelist, Claude McKay and Caribbean prime minister Michael Manley. They arrive at a common awareness that the dominant political ideology of the North is incongruous to the history and development of people in the African Diaspora and in the global South in general. Author Lloyd McCarthy currently lives in Raleigh after duties as a public servant in Jamaica.


We have some great events coming up!

ALEXIS ZEIGLER | CULTURE CHANGE: CIVIL LIBERTY, PEAK OIL, AND THE END OF
EMPIRE
What impact will Peak Oil have on the political culture of the U.S.? What is the connection between the ecological limits we have already reached on the growth of militarism, fundamentalism, and male supremacy?
How can we downscale and localize our economy to reduce our energy and resource use?
Alexis Zeigler, author of the new book, Culture Change; Civil Liberty, Peak Oil, and the End of Empire will conduct a presentation and discussion of these issues.

Friday, 09 February @ 8pm
CARRBORO GREENSPACE COLLECTIVE
Please join the Carrboro Greenspace Collective as we host an open-house event Friday, February 9th
beginning at 8pm. Coinciding with the monthly Carrboro Art Walk, the Greenspace will feature work by local
artists Isaac Sandlin and Phil Blank. There will also be live music, food and drink!

The Carrboro Greenspace Collective is currently working to save 10.5 acres in the heart of downtown
Carrboro from development in order to turn it into center for Community and Sustainability. This would
include programs like the ReCyclery, and other educational programs and events. Please come and
check out the beautiful space that we hope will become a key space for cultivating artistic, environmental
and social community in our area. The Greenspace is located at 116 Old Pittsboro Rd,
down the street from the Open Eye Cafe. For more information contact 225.3433

HISTORIC K ON JONES STREET
The North Carolina NAACP is sponsoring Historic K (Thousands) on Jones Street, a rally in Raleigh on February 10 in support of The People’s Agenda, its 14-point progressive public policy strategy. That strategy calls for high quality, well funded, diverse schools, a living wage, health care for all, strengthened civil rights, and other actions and programs that will promote the well-being of all North Carolinians. There will be a car pool bus ($12 roundtrip) leaving from University Mall at 10am.

Tuesday, 13 February @ 7pm
ZELDA LOCKHART | COLD RUNNING CREEK
Lockhart, author of Fifth Born, will be here to discuss her latest
novel, Cold Running Creek. It is a lyrical, personal, and profoundly
realistic portrayal of figures of our past whose stories, until now, lay
buried beneath the rubble of slavery and Civil War. Lockhart presents a
novel that is as significant as Alex Haley’s Roots and as sensitive in
the portrayal of its characters as Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were
Watching God.

Thursday, 22 February @ 7pm
INGA MUSCIO | AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A BLUE-EYED DEVIL
Infamous author of Cunt, Inga Muscio will be here to discuss her latest
work, which examines the state of history and its flaws. She sets out to
rewrite a history that has been traditionally steeped in misogyny,
racism, imperialism, and classism. In doing so, she calls for a fresh
look at what we consider factual history.
