Join us for RBC's August event as we explore contemporary China through Yuan Yang's compelling book "Private Revolutions."
About this Event

Welcome to the RBC Boulder event, where we'll be diving into August's theme, China, through this month's read, , by Yuan Yang.

Yuan Yang, the first Chinese-born British MP, tells the stories of four Chinese women striving for a better future in an unequal society. From June, who dreams of going to university rather than raising pigs, to Sam, forced into hiding as her activist peers are lifted from the streets, this is a singularly immersive portrait of a rapidly changing nation - and of the courage of those caught in the swell.

Why we chose it: "A revelatory, moving and tender tale of hopes, fears and change. A real eye-opener about life in contemporary China" - Peter Frankopan


Delicious drinks are included, as well as engaging storytelling and space for conversations and sharing your own journeys across countries and continents.


Interested? Want to join us at our August event?

Try out the club with Eventbrite - new customers only. Ticket price includes access to the Boulder Rebel Book Club event plus a welcome drink (alcoholic + non-alcoholic options available).


Your hosts for the evening

Joey Gigante

Joey is a marketing strategist who’s led campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands. He’s always been a voracious reader — once getting in trouble as a kid for reading under his desk at school.

Drawn to books on cultural criticisms and society (and allergic to self-help books), Joey believes books expand our worlds and that discussing them with others makes the experience richer.

‍He’s leading RBC Boulder with the hopes of building something simple but powerful: chill vibes, smart conversation, and a space for people connect. If you leave each session thinking a little differently, mission accomplished.


Jay Dike

Expedition designer, entrepreneur, and wildlife conservationist, Jay thrives exploring the intersection of nature, innovation, and creativity. With roots in South Africa and a former London RBC member, he now wants to provide a welcoming forum for Boulder's diverse array of freethinkers to connect over epic, game-changing reads and engage in rich dialogues.
