SUMMARY:Chile's 9/11: Fifty Years of Literary Resistance
DESCRIPTION:September 2023 marks fifty years since the overthrow of Salvador Allende’s socialist government on September 11\, 1973. To honor the struggles and sufferings of the Chilean people\, the MEP’s Literature Group dedicates two eight-week series to Chilean writers active before\, during\, and since the Pinochet dictatorship. In addition to the justly well-known writings of Roberto Bolaño\, many of our readings will be from translations by Megan McDowell. McDowell has worked with US and British independent publishers to promote a diverse group of writers largely unfamiliar to American audiences. Our aim\, to quote McDowell\, is “to expand our circles of empathy.” \nFull book descriptions and a reading schedule are available here. \nConvened by Jacqueline Cantwell\, who became involved with the MEP’s Literature Group because of her love of Victor Serge’s novels. Participating in an MEP reading group led by Serge translator Richard Greeman seven years ago\, Jacqueline found a community of readers eager to be challenged by the ambitions of international writers devoted to the creative potential of political fiction. Since the death of Michael Lardner\, who hosted and organized the Literature Group for so many years\, she has taken the lead in furthering the group’s goals of exploring international fiction and encouraging thoughtful conversation.

SUMMARY:Summertime … and the Living Ain't Easy: Black Noir
DESCRIPTION:The Marxist Education Project’s Literature Group continues its summertime tradition of reading noir fiction: the popular American crime genre that explores the corruption of society – and\, in our selected books by Black writers – corruption in the workplace\, in unions\, and among workers. “Mystery fiction written by Black authors is\, not surprisingly\, often very different from work in that broadly defined genre written by white writers.” –Black Noir \nWe will read these four books:\nIf He Hollers\, Let Him Go by Chester Himes\nA Red Death by Walter Mosley\nBlack Water Rising by Attica Locke\nThe Man Who Changed Colors by Bill Fletcher Jr. \nFull book descriptions and a reading schedule are available here. \nConvened by Jacqueline Cantwell\, who became involved with the MEP’s Literature Group because of her love of Victor Serge’s novels.

A thrilling read!” – Tavis Smiley\, broadcaster and New York Times bestselling author \nBill Fletcher Jr has been an activist since his teen years. He has been active in workplace and community struggles and in electoral campaigns. He has worked for several labor unions in addition to serving as a senior staff person in the national AFL-CIO.

SUMMARY:Arise! The Mexican Revolution's Global Impact
DESCRIPTION:With Author Christina Heatherton\nThe Mexican Revolution was a global event that catalyzed international radicals in unexpected sites and struggles. Christina Heatherton’s book Arise! Global Radicalism in the Era of the Mexican Revolution reveals how activists around the world found inspiration and solidarity in revolutionary Mexico. Heatherton traces the paths of Black American artist Elizabeth Catlett\, Indian anti-colonial activist M.N. Roy\, Mexican revolutionary leader Ricardo Flores Magón\, Okinawan migrant organizer Paul Shinsei Kōchi\, Soviet feminist Alexandra Kollontai\, and other key figures. From art collectives and farm worker strikes to prison “universities\,” Arise! reconstructs how radical organizers found new ways to fight global capitalism and forge an anti-racist internationalism from below. \nChristina Heatherton is the Elting Associate Professor of American Studies and Human Rights at Trinity College. With Jordan T. Camp she edited Policing the Planet: Why the Policing Crisis Led to Black Lives Matter and Freedom Now! Struggles for the Human Right to Housing in LA and Beyond. She currently codirects the Trinity Social Justice Initiative and is co-host and co-producer of the SJI’s podcast Conjuncture. \nArise! is available from the publisher\, University of California Press.

SUMMARY:Iran Awakening: Novels by Iranian Women
DESCRIPTION:I speak from the deep end of night.\nOf end of darkness I speak.\nI speak of deep night ending.\n – From “The Gift” by Forugh Farrokhzad\nThe winter 2023 series of the MEP Literature Group focuses on Iranian women writing since the 1978-79 Revolution whose stories are set inside Iran. We have compiled a reading list from an essay by Niloufar Talebi\, “100 Essential Books by Iranian Writers: An Introduction & Nonfiction\,” published on the Asian American Writers’ Workshop website. As we read\, one question we will keep in mind is that posed by Talebi: How does the publishing market limit Americans’ understanding of Iranian efforts? \nOver nine weeks we will read three novels set from the 1920s to the present: The Gardens of Consolation\, by Parisa Reza; Women Without Men\, by Shahrnush Parsipur; and Man of My Time\, by Dalia Sofer. In Part II\, our spring session\, we will begin with a novel set in 1979 and end with a novel set in contemporary Iran. More information… \nEveryone is welcome!

SUMMARY:Peru: Crisis and Uprising
DESCRIPTION:Banners read\, “They all must go! Jail the murderers! Elections now! Not one more death! Out with Dina Boluarte! Down with the racist civil-military dictatorship! Shut down Congress! For a people’s constituent assembly!”\nA video of this February 22\, 2023\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nA deepgoing political crisis is shaking Peru\, with massive protests by working people in the countryside and cities\, murderous repression by the armed forces and police\, and desperate efforts to restore order by a widely hated right-wing Congress and an unelected president\, Dina Boluarte. Women and Quechua and Aymara people from the Andean countryside and interior cities are taking a leading role in demanding that Boluarte and the Congress resign and that a democratic constituent assembly be convened to enable a government that represents Peru’s diversity rather than the exploitative\, racist elites of Lima. Join us as Peruvian left activist and sociologist Nicolás Lynch reports on and analyzes these dramatic events direct from Lima. Historian Gerardo Rénique moderates and joins the conversation. \nNicolás Lynch has published many books and essays on Peruvian politics and history. He has taught at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos in Lima and has served as Peru’s Minister of Education and as Ambassador to Argentina. Lynch holds a Ph.D. in sociology from the New School for Social Research. \nGerardo Rénique taught Latin American history for many years at the City College of New York. He is a frequent contributor to Socialism and Democracy and NACLA: Report on the Americas. His research interests include the political traditions of popular movements in Latin America\, and race\, national identity and state formation in Mexico.
