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.

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.

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

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.

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.
