Book Club to Remake the World

This book club is a post-colonial-futuristic-literary discussion portal to activate our imagination to “reworld” the world.
About this Event

Hosted by a rotating cast of character.

One of the main features of imperial oppression is control over language. It tends to marginalize or erase anything outside of the standardized system it installed. Language is a culture keeper and a road opener. This book club, in the acknowledgment of that fact, is a post-colonial-futuristic-literary discussion portal to activate our imagination to “reworld” the world.

August's pick is Communion by bell hooks. Hosted by Laia. You can find the book here. Seats are limited.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Intimate, revealing, provocative, Communion challenges every woman to courageously claim the search for love as the heroic journey we must all choose to be truly free. In her trademark commanding and lucid language, hooks explores the ways ideas about women and love were changed by the feminist movement, by women’s full participation in the workforce, and by the culture of self-help.

Communion is the heart-to-heart talk every woman — mother, daughter, friend, and lover — needs to have.

Book Club to Remake the World meets every 2nd Wednesday of each month, EXCEPT December, we'll be taking a break for the month.
