With the growing public hype surrounding Iran and nukes, iBooks will start its first Israel/Middle East group to come together and start talking about the tensions/issues that face the Middle East (specifically on Israel, the Arab states, and Iran).
The framework: weekly (or bi-weekly) from the beginning of April to the middle of June. Starting with a “how to” to dialogue on the specific region in question focusing most on people’s understandings/experiences and for people to listen to them. Then continuing with discussions based on current affairs and historical texts, drawing on multimedia as ways to engage participants. It will be in dialogue form, with a neutral facilitator, focusing on people’s individual reactions/perspectives on the information presented as a way to drive discussion as opposed to us all learning about certain parts of the conflict.

A letter writing night where we send birthday cards to political
prisoners. It's an easy way to let these people know they aren't
forgotten. These men and women fought for many of the freedoms we take for
granted today.

"The Psychology of Fascism" - talk with William Manson
Join us at Internationalist Books for a thought-provoking talk with William Manson about "The Psychology of Fascism."
What drives leaders such as George Bush and John McCain towards
their destructive militarism and repressive global and domestic
policies? In this provocative talk and discussion, Manson will analyze
the authoritarian narcissism underlying US corporate and political
power through the lens of psychology. Deriving insight from diverse
thinkers including Sigmund Freud, Wilhelm Reich, Erich Fromm, and
others, participants will examine the role of sexual repression,
authoritarian conditioning, and pathological narcissism in shaping the
psychology of America's leaders as the country edges towards fascism.
Come prepared to learn, debate, and explore humanistic alternatives to
the "wargasmic" policies of Republican (and Democratic) narcissists!
William Manson is a Chapel Hill-based radical intellectual historian
and author who has published essays examining fascist psychology,
authoritarian narcissism, and radical humanism in Fifth Estate
magazine, Anarchy! A Journal of Desire Armed, and more.

Find out how at Internationalist Books and Community Center on
Thursday, July 31st at 7 PM, as we welcome author and activist Lyle
Estill for a reading from his new book, Small Is Possible. This
passionate, insightful book introduces us to "hometown security," with
this chronicle of a community-powered response to resource depletion in
a fickle global economy. True stories, springing from the soils of
Chatham County, North Carolina, offer a positive counter balance to the
bleakness of our age. This is the story of how one small southern US
town found actual solutions to actual problems. Unwilling to rely on
government and wary of large corporations, these residents discovered
it is possible for a community to feed itself, fuel itself, heal itself
and govern itself.
"Think self-reliance is far-fetched in a flat
world? Lyle Estill's Small is Possible shows how it is being done for
food, housing, energy, finance, health care, and just about everything
else communities care about. A seasoned entrepreneur and social
innovator, Estill tells fun-to-read stories that are engaging,
insightful, and practical. His book is an indispensable resource for
community organizers and economic developers alike."
-Michael Shuman, author of "The Small Mart Revolution: How Local Businesses are Beating the Global Competition"
Local
resident Lyle Estill is the author of numerous articles, essays, and
blog entries, including the book, Biodiesel Power; the Passion, People
and Politics of the Next Renewable Fuel. He serves as vice-president of
Piedmont Biofuels in Pittsboro, NC.
