SUMMARY:Oppression and Resistance in New Chinese and Chinese-American Science Fiction
DESCRIPTION:Join us to read selections from the best of Chinese and Chinese-American science fiction. Over the last ten years\, authors have reached English-speaking audiences with exciting and award-winning new literature using the metaphors and methods of speculative and visionary writing. \nThe new wave of younger Chinese science fiction writers often brings exciting explorations of political and social themes. Alongside daring new scientific imaginations\, our selections this fall feature issues of anti-Asian violence and racism\, colonialism\, then and now\, and the cruelties of global capitalism\, often resulting in resistance to oppression.  Our selections truly merit the new tag of “visionary fiction.” \nOur reading group includes people steeped in the speculative fiction tradition as well as new readers exploring themes with us for the first time. The tilt of global economics\, scientific research\, and politics Eastward makes this fall’s theme timely. \nOur list\, still in formation\, tentatively includes: \nVagabonds by Hao Jinfang\, as well as her Hugo award-winning story\, “Folding Beijing” \nSelections from short story collections written\, translated or edited by Ken Liu: Hidden Planets\, Broken Planets\, and The Hidden Girl \nBabel\, by RF Kuang \nOur Missing Children\, by Celeste Ng \nSeverance\, by Ling Ma \nWe plan to experiment with a hybrid format. We will meet monthly for a longer\, in-depth discussion as we finish a book. This more typical book club may better suit you if you want to read on your own and then take part in an overall discussion of the readings. We will also continue our weekly ninety-minute meetings for those who can make that commitment. You can register for all or just the monthly longer sessions. \nConvened by Steve Backman\, long-time explorer of the visionary side of science fiction; member of the MEP leadership team \nPlease click to see ticket options for this series and register. You can see all registration options on the first date listing for this reading group.

SUMMARY:Commons\, Commoning\, Communism
DESCRIPTION:Various forms of commoning\, some traditional and some not\, provided the proletariat with means of survival in the struggle against capitalism. Commoning is a basis of proletarian class solidarity\, and we can find this before\, during\, and after both the semantic and the political birth of communism. –Peter Linebaugh\nBefore the advent of capitalism\, much of humanity produced their immediate livelihoods on lands and with tools to which they either had rights of use or held as individual property. All that came to a violent end with what Marx preferred to call the “original expropriation” (often misleadingly termed “primitive accumulation”) whereby the producers were deprived of access and the commons were enclosed. Peasants and artisans mounted strong resistance over centuries but in the end a propertyless proletariat emerged in countryside and city in England and other countries where capitalism triumphed. Such struggles continue down to the present\, however\, as working people continue to challenge new forms of expropriation such as intellectual-property laws\, private patents on seeds and other life forms\, displacement of urban communities\, extortion through petty fines and regressive taxation\, and seizures of land and water for mining and other profitable purposes. This reading group will explore the historical roots and persistence of such crimes and resistance by reading together The War Against the Commons\, by Ian Angus; Stop\, Thief! by Peter Linebaugh; and related texts. \nFacilitated by Fred Murphy and Steve Knight of the MEP’s Ecosocialist Study Group.

SUMMARY:Reading Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks
DESCRIPTION:In these sessions led by Piruz Alemi\, we will continue to study selected passages from Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks. We delve into key themes and concepts related to civil society and state: politics and the arts\, racism\, class and gender\, religion\, linguistics\, and other methods of analysis\, critical theory\, mass media\, and cinema\, hegemony\, and subaltern studies\, as well as the role of intellectuals and activists in discovering new methods and languages to be transformative. A Gramscian “Past & Present” approach is key to our work. \nThroughout these sessions\, we will attempt to connect our own cultures and life experiences with contemporary struggles such as those unfolding in the Woman\, Life\, Freedom movement in Iran. \nParticipation in previous sessions is not a requirement – all are welcome to join.

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: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:Reading Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks
DESCRIPTION:In these sessions led by Piruz Alemi\, we will continue to study selected passages from Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks. We delve into key themes and concepts related to civil society and state: politics and the arts\, racism\, class and gender\, religion\, linguistics\, and other methods of analysis\, critical theory\, mass media\, and cinema\, hegemony\, and subaltern studies\, as well as the role of intellectuals and activists in discovering new methods and languages to be transformative. A Gramscian “Past & Present” approach is key to our work. \nThroughout these sessions\, we will attempt to connect our own cultures and life experiences with contemporary struggles such as those unfolding in the Woman\, Life\, Freedom movement in Iran. \nParticipation in previous sessions is not a requirement – all are welcome to join.

SUMMARY:Reading Du Bois's Black Reconstruction
DESCRIPTION:A close reading over 10 weeks of W.E.B. Du Bois’s classic work\, Black Reconstruction in America. The book provides a basis for a much overdue revolution in US labor history. As Du Bois so eloquently and bluntly put in in 1935: “The South\, after the war\, presented the greatest opportunity for a real national labor movement which the nation ever saw or is likely to see again for many decades. Yet\, the labor movement\, with but few exceptions\, never realized the situation. It never had the intelligence or knowledge\, as a whole\, to see in black slavery and Reconstruction\, the kernel and meaning of the labor movement in the United States.” \nIn a 1968 speech Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, hailed Black Reconstruction as “a monumental achievement … White historians had for a century crudely distorted the Negro’s role in the Reconstruction years. It was a conscious and deliberate manipulation of history\, and the stakes were high. Dr. Du Bois confronted this powerful structure of historical distortion and dismantled it. He virtually\, before anyone else and more than anyone else\, demolished the lies about Negroes in their most important and creative period of history. The truths he revealed are not yet the property of all Americans but they have been recorded and arm us for our contemporary battles.” \nSean Ahern is a long-time New York City labor activist and anti-racist fighter. He has worked as a labor organizer in the US Postal Service\, the transit industry\, and education.

SUMMARY:Reading Du Bois's Black Reconstruction
DESCRIPTION:A close reading over 10 weeks of W.E.B. Du Bois’s classic work\, Black Reconstruction in America. The book provides a basis for a much overdue revolution in US labor history. As Du Bois so eloquently and bluntly put in in 1935: “The South\, after the war\, presented the greatest opportunity for a real national labor movement which the nation ever saw or is likely to see again for many decades. Yet\, the labor movement\, with but few exceptions\, never realized the situation. It never had the intelligence or knowledge\, as a whole\, to see in black slavery and Reconstruction\, the kernel and meaning of the labor movement in the United States.” \nIn a 1968 speech Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, hailed Black Reconstruction as “a monumental achievement … White historians had for a century crudely distorted the Negro’s role in the Reconstruction years. It was a conscious and deliberate manipulation of history\, and the stakes were high. Dr. Du Bois confronted this powerful structure of historical distortion and dismantled it. He virtually\, before anyone else and more than anyone else\, demolished the lies about Negroes in their most important and creative period of history. The truths he revealed are not yet the property of all Americans but they have been recorded and arm us for our contemporary battles.” \nSean Ahern is a long-time New York City labor activist and anti-racist fighter. He has worked as a labor organizer in the US Postal Service\, the transit industry\, and education.

SUMMARY:Reading Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks
DESCRIPTION:In these sessions led by Piruz Alemi\, we will continue to study selected passages from Antonio Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks. We delve into key themes and concepts related to civil society and state: politics and the arts\, racism\, class and gender\, religion\, linguistics\, and other methods of analysis\, critical theory\, mass media\, and cinema\, hegemony\, and subaltern studies\, as well as the role of intellectuals and activists in discovering new methods and languages to be transformative. A Gramscian “Past & Present” approach is key to our work. \nThroughout these sessions\, we will attempt to connect our own cultures and life experiences with contemporary struggles such as those unfolding in the Woman\, Life\, Freedom movement in Iran. \nParticipation in previous sessions is not a requirement – all are welcome to join.
