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.?
