In the same vein as J. Sakai’s “Settlers: the Myth of the White Proletariat,” “Night-Vision: Illuminating War & Class On The Neo-Colonial Terrain” examines the  class/gender/race system called white supremacy and heteropatriarchy from an historical perspective. Unlike many of the academic books out there, Night-Vision makes complex ideas easier to understand.
How could Europe afford to invade the Americas, also called Turtle Island? Why has the U.S. become the heart of empire? Come participate to find out!
Local publisher Kersplebedeb has kindly donated eight copies of this book to the Skillshare. Space is limited, therefore, this time around.
If you are available every Monday night in January, from 7-9pm, please RSVP and let us know you’ll be attending.

From:     10am
To:         10pm

When you really need a greasy, imobilizing and salty treat, the only thing more disgusting is John Waters, who must be overindulged in for full appreciation.The battle cry of “filth is my politics, filth is my life” cannot be lost to the future degenerations. Our only resolution this new year is to keep up the norm bashing, shame smashing and hate trashing that has inspired us since day one. Read more »
