We're rounding out the month with a couple of good events this week! Check it out!

TUESDAY JAN 25 @ 7pm: Walls, Drums and Olive Trees: Apartheid in Israel
Join us with Omer Sharir from Israel for a special discussion!

Omer has been a part of Anarchists Against the Wall for the past four years, as well as working for the Israeli Committee against House Demolitions, and participating in the Yasamba - the Jerusalem Rhythms of Resistance group. He will describe his part, and his thoughts about the part of Jewish-Israelis in general, in the current struggle against the apartheid system in Israel. The focus will be on a discussion, so be prepared to share your own wisdom and experience about privilege, paternalism and solidarity.

THURSDAY JAN 27 @ 7pm: (Movie Night) "Fourth World War"

Come out and watch the documentary "The Fourth World War," a film about the struggle of poor and working-class people all over the globe who must battle both large corporations and oppressive governments in order to survive and win basic human rights. Filmed in the streets of Mexico, Korea, Argentina, Palestine, Quebec City, and other locations all over the world, this is an emotional and very politicized look at glaring injustice and the emerging movements that seek to combat it.

That's it for this week's events! Check out www.internationalistbooks.org for more info on these and other events. Read on for events further out in this month and next month!

Thanks!

THURDAY FEB 17 @ 7pm: (Movie Night) Croatan Earth First! Presents "Ancient Futures, Learning from Ladakh"

Ladakh, or Little Tibet, is a wildly beautiful desert land high in the western Himalayas. It is a place of few resources and an extreme climate. Yet, for more than a thousand years, it has been home to a thriving culture. The breakdown of Ladakh's culture and environment forces us to re-examine what we really mean by progress - not only in the developing parts of the world, but in the industrialized world as well.

MONDAY FEB 21: BOB SHELDON DAY 2011! 6:30 pm

Join us for an evening full of festivities to commemorate the life of the founder of Internationalist Books, Bob Sheldon!

THURSDAY FEB 24 @ 7pm: (Movie Night) "The Take"

In suburban Buenos Aires, thirty unemployed auto-parts workers walk into their idle factory, roll out sleeping mats and refuse to leave.

All they want is to re-start the silent machines. But this simple act - The Take - has the power to turn the globalization debate on its head.

MONDAY FEB 28 @ 7pm: February Board Game Night
