Turns out we have a dry week here at Internationalist Books and  
Community Center, but I still wanted to send out a reminder of  
upcoming events at the store that are happening NEXT week! So save the  
date, we have a full week of events next week, so there's sure to be  
something to tickle your fancy! And of course I'll be sending out a  
reminder at the beginning of next week!


MON DEC 13 - World History: Anarcho-Folk-Pop Duo from Seattle! @6pm

The Anarcho-Folk-Pop Duo will be here in the evening to perform songs  
from their album "You Can't Stop Trying".

Give them a listen at http://worldhistory.bandcamp.com/!
Their songs are mostly about historical characters and events that are  
rarely talked about in compulsory school textbooks, and their lyrics  
provide hints of their anarchist anti-politics. Whether performing a  
raucous, triumphant historical retelling or a foot-stomping  
sing-along, World History continues to captivate audiences from living  
room to back porch.


TUES DEC 14 - Imaginal Machines: Book Reading/Discussion with Stevphen  
Shukaitis @7pm

All power to the imagination? Over the past forty years to invoke the  
imagination as a basis for radical politics has become a cliché: a  
rhetorical utilization of ideas already in circulation. But what  
exactly is radical imagination? Come join Stevphen Shukaitis for a  
discussion of his book Imaginal Machines: Autonomy & Self-Organization  
in the Revolutions of Everyday Life (Autonomedia, 2009), which  
explores the potentials and limits of collective imagination in social  
movement organizing.


WED DEC 15 - December Political Prisoner Letter Writing Night @7pm
Join Internationalist Books and the Internationalist Prison Books  
Collective for December's Political Prisoner Letter Writing Night,  
Wednesday December 15!

Come and write a birthday card to political prisoners whose birthdays  
fall in the month of December. They're sure to need some love during  
the Holiday season!

This month we will be writing:

Ed Poindexter - an ex-Black Panther targeted by FBI's COINTELPRO,
Tsutomu Shirosaki - a Japanese national accused of being a part of the  
Japanese Red Army,
Zolo Ahona Azania - a former Black Panther convicted of a bank robbery,
Fred Burton - an innocent man convicted in a sham trial for killing a cop, and
Jerome White-Bey - an anarchist prison activist who has helped to  
fight slave labor in prisons by organizing the Missouri Prison Labor  
Union.

THU DEC 16 - Croatan EF! Movie Night: "River of Waste" @7pm

Join Internationalist Books and Croatan Earth First! for our monthly  
Earth First! movie screening. This month's selection is "A River of  
Waste"

?This documentary exposes a huge health and environmental scandal in  
the nation?s modern industrial system of meat and poultry production.  
Scientists have even called the practices of these companies as mini  
Chernobyls. In U.S. and around the world, the meat and poultry  
industry is dominated by a large number of toxins and by dumping large  
amounts of sewage into the environment. The film shows the vast impact  
these companies make on the environment and public health and focuses  
on the individual lives that have been damaged and destroyed because  
of these farms.?
