Hook up with the revolution
What is Revolution Books?
At a moment when the planet and future of humanity are in peril...when so many are agonizing over where things are headed yet dreaming of something far better...Revolution Books is where you find the way out of the madness. Here the search for the truth meets the poetic spirit—with books, authors, films, and performance. Here you find the most radical revolution in the work and leadership of Bob Avakian who has developed the new communism aimed at the emancipation of humanity. A revolution to overthrow this system, and create a society and world in which human beings can truly flourish and the imagination can soar. Welcome to Revolution Books.

| Native American Boarding Schools and Their Enduring Legacy December 10, Friday, 6 pm-8 pm - Watch the program in-person at the bookstore. |
Dr. Sarah Whitt speaking by Zoom on “Native American Boarding Schools and Their Enduring Legacy.” In this talk, Dr. Whitt (Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma) discusses the history, from 1879 to 1934, of Native American boarding schools and how they have been used as tools of settler colonialism in the United States. The U.S. pursued a campaign to “assimilate” Indian people by forced confinement and indoctrination, and today, Native people are one of the most policed and surveilled populations in the country. Centering the experiences of Indian people at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School, the U.S.’s most notorious Indian boarding institution, Dr. Whitt’s talk examines a punitive history of racialized discipline—and the relevance of old settler violence for tribal nations today. Dr. Whitt received her Ph.D. from UC Berkeley. She is currently an Assistant Professor at UC Irvine where she researches, writes, and teaches about Indigenous experiences in settler institutions. |
