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. 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:"We're Going on an Adventure": Summer Visionary Fiction
DESCRIPTION:The MEP’s Science and Visionary Fiction Reading Group will read Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Children of Ruin this summer.  The catchphrase\, “We’re going on an adventure\,” signals the novel’s overlapping themes of contemporary significance–desperate efforts to escape war and corporate destruction on Earth\, species-level competition to make new homes elsewhere\, and the varieties and the social significance of artificial intelligence. \nAbove all\, the book continues the author’s exploration of empathy between his characters and with us\, his readers: “I wanted to write sections from the point of view of an octopus.” \nAs befits summertime reading\, we will add other selections as we go\, meshing these themes with the interests of the group.

SUMMARY:'The Man Who Changed Colors'
DESCRIPTION:A video of this June 3\, 2023\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \n\nWith Bill Fletcher Jr\, activist/author/crime novelist\nWhen a dockworker falls to his death under strange circumstances\, investigative journalist David Gomes is on the case. His dogged pursuit of the truth puts his life in danger and upends the scrappy Cape Cod newspaper he works for. The Man Who Changed Colors delves into the complicated relationships between Cape Verdean Americans and African Americans\, Portuguese fascist gangs\, and abusive shipyard working conditions.\n“Bill Fletcher is a truth seeker and a truth teller – even when he’s writing fiction. Not unlike Bill\, his character David Gomes is willing to put his life and career in peril to expose the truth. 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. Fletcher is a Senior Scholar with the Institute for Policy Studies and the former president of TransAfrica Forum. His books include a previous David Gomes story\, The Man Who Fell From the Sky\, and nonfiction works The Indispensable Ally: Black Workers and the Formation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations\, 1934-1941 (with Peter Agard); Solidarity Divided (with Dr. Fernando Gapasin)\, and ‘They’re Bankrupting Us’ and Twenty Other Myths About Unions. Fletcher is a syndicated columnist and a regular media commentator on television\, radio and the Web. \nBook available from Hardball Press.

SUMMARY:Iran Awakening II: More 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 spring 2023 series of the MEP Literature Group continues to focus 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 eight weeks we will read novels set in the period since the 1979 revolution. More information… \nEveryone is welcome!

SUMMARY:The Fallout of War: Metonyms of Militarism
DESCRIPTION:A video of this May 13\, 2023\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel. \nYale Working Group on Globalization and Culture\nSecond of two parts. Part One \nWar: what is it\, and what is it good for? War might seem like a foregone conclusion or a state of exception; in either case it is an archetype of crisis. In two linked sessions\, the Yale Working Group on Globalization and Culture presents their collective research on a keyword of contemporary cultural studies – war – and investigates its many valences as lived reality and as metaphor. Trade wars can become militarized\, and hot wars can look cold\, depending on your vantage point. The race war\, Twitter tells us\, is impending; but in an age of US forever war(s)\, understanding war as punctuating the flow of history seems to be entirely insufficient. War is\, some argue\, a way of life\, a structuring condition that shapes our examinations of the history of the present. The war on drugs\, the war on poverty\, the war on COVID\, the war on Christmas – war is also a ubiquitous metaphor\, a self-righteous idiom that announces moral panic and articulates racial logic in otherwise terms. But metaphors of war have also influenced various radical traditions and social movements\, including anti-war activism and Gramsci’s deployment of metaphors of war in his theorizing of hegemony. Taking account of war as constitutive of the present\, the working group explores war’s meanings as event\, analytic\, and metaphor. \nPanel II Presentations:\nAanchal Saraf theorizes nuclear fallout in the Pacific as war itself moving through the landscapes\, bodies\, and generations of the Marshall Islands and its peoples.\nJavier Porras Madero explores “Dirty Wars” in Latin America for their classed\, raced\, and gendered dimensions as well as their implications for how we may understand conflict\, violence\, and the global Cold War.\nMadeleine Han’s presentation focuses on the Han River both as the face of South Korean postwar economic development (referred to as the “Miracle on the Han”) and as a repository of submerged cold war memories.\nMaru Pabón examines the dominant genres and styles of two poetic projects that emerged out of anticolonial/anti-imperial struggles in Palestine and Cuba\, shiʿr al-muqawama and coloquialismo\, in relation to the distinct temporalities of the two conflicts.\nMonique Flores Ulysses considers U.S. cultural texts seemingly disconnected from war but nonetheless imbricated in war-making during the early years of the Global War on Terror.\nMichael Denning chairs this panel. \nThe Yale Working Group on Globalization and Culture is an interdisciplinary cultural studies laboratory that has been practicing collective research at Yale University for two decades. Over the years\, we have presented work collaboratively at numerous cultural studies conferences as well as at the Marxist Education Project\, the Left Forum\, Occupy Boston\, and the World Social Forum. Past projects have been published as “Going into Debt\,” online in Social Text’s Periscope\, and as “Spaces and Times of Occupation” in Transforming Anthropology; a collective interview regarding “Matters of Life and Death” appeared in Revue Française d’Études Américaines. The current members—Aanchal Saraf\, Damanpreet Pelia\, Javier Porras Madero\, Jessica Marion Modi\, Lucero Estrella\, Madeleine Han\, Maru Pabón\, Michael Denning\, Monique Flores Ulysses\, and Salonee Bhaman—work in American studies\, history\, Latinx studies\, literary criticism\, African-American studies\, Asian American studies\, comparative literature\, and womens\, gender and sexuality studies.

SUMMARY:Utopia and Modernity in China: Contradictions in Transition
DESCRIPTION:A video of this March 22\, 2023\, event is available on the MEP’s YouTube channel.\nThe success of China’s industrial/technical revolution since the 1980s has been international market-driven and led by private capital. But this capitalist “utopia” sits uneasily with both traditional Chinese values and the socialism that has been the foundation of the People’s Republic since the Chinese Communist Party came to power in 1949. Utopia and Modernity in China\, edited by David Margolies and Qing Cao\, examines the contradictions inherent in China’s attempt to achieve “socialism with Chinese characteristics” by promoting home-grown capitalism. The book attempts to deconstruct the realities of this system in practice\, focusing on the internal tensions between traditional Chinese values\, neoliberal capitalism\, and the CCP’s vision of a transition to socialism in the 21st century. It offers an unusual insight into the complex cultural forces that are rapidly reshaping both China and world capitalism.\nBook available from the publisher\, Pluto Press. \nDavid Margolies is Emeritus Professor of English at Goldsmiths\, University of London. He is the author of Shakespeare’s Irrational Endings: The Problem Plays\, and edited Culture as Politics: Selected Writings of Christopher Caudwell. \nQing Cao is Associate Professor in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures at the University of Durham. He is the author of China under Western Gaze\, and co-editor of Discourse\, Politics and Media in Contemporary China and Brand China in the Media. \n

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!
