SUMMARY:Victor Serge: Midnight in the Century
DESCRIPTION:In 1933\, Victor Serge was arrested by Stalin’s police\, interrogated\, and held in solitary confinement for more than eighty days. Released\, he spent two years in exile in remote Orenburg. These experiences were the inspiration for Midnight in the Century\, Serge’s searching novel about revolutionaries living in the shadow of Stalin’s betrayal of the revolution. Among the exiles—-true believers in a cause that no longer exists—-gathered in the town of Chenor\, or Black Waters\, are the granitefaced old Bolshevik Ryzhik\, stoic yet gentle Varvara\, and Rodion\, a young\, self-educated worker who is trying to make sense of the world and history. ey struggle in the unlikely company of Russian Orthodox Old Believers who are also suffering for their faith. Against unbelievable odds\, the young Rodion will escape captivity and find a new life in the wild. Surviving the dark winter night of the soul\, he rediscovers the only real\, and most radical\, form of resistance: hope. \nEdwin Frank has been the editor of the the New York Review Books Classics series since its beginning in 1999. His Snake Train: Poems 1984-2013 will come out in 2014\, and he is working on a book about the novel in the twentieth century and the twentieth century in the novel. \nRichard Greeman is best known for his studies and translations of novelist and revolutionary Victor Serge (1890–1947). Greeman also writes regularly about politics\, international class struggles and revolutionary theory. Co-founder of the Praxis Research and Education Center in Moscow\, and director of the International Victor Serge Foundation\, Greeman splits his time between Montpellier\, France and New York City. \nChristopher Winks is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at Queens College/The City University of New York and a translator. His scholarship has particular emphasis on Caribbean and Latin American literature and African-American studies. He is the author of Symbolic Cities in Caribbean Literature\, published by Palgrave Macmillan\, an incisive comparative study that analyzes Caribbean literary representations of magic and invisible cities in new and exciting ways. \nJenny Greeman is an artist and educator living and working in NYC. \n\nSuggested donation: $6 / $10 or $12\nNo one turned away for inability to pay

SUMMARY:An Indigenous People’s  Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Today\, in the United States\, there are more than 500 federally recognized indigenous communities and nations comprising nearly three million people. These are the descendants of the 15 million people who once inhabited this land and are the subject of the latest book by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz. In An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States\, Dunbar-Ortiz challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the indigenous peoples was genocidal and imperialist—designed to crush the original inhabitants. We will read this history that spans more than 300 years\, along with Leslie Marmon Silko’s Almanac of the Dead as a companion “fictional” narrative. \nAlmanac of the Dead takes place against the backdrop of the American Southwest and Central America. It follows the stories of dozens of characters. Much of the story takes place in the present day\, although lengthy flashbacks and indigenous mythology interweave throughout. The novel’s numerous characters are often separated by both time and space. Many of characters are involved in either crime or revolution. \nRoxanne Dunbar-Ortiz of San Francisco\, grew up in rural Oklahoma\, the daughter of a farmer and half-Indian mother. She has been active in the American Indian Movement for more than four decades and is known for her lifelong commitment to national and international social justice issues. \nLeslie Marmon Silkowas was born in Albuquerque\, New Mexico. Silko has noted herself as being one-quarter Laguna Pueblo (a Keres-speaking tribe)\, also identifying as Anglo American and Mexican American. Silko grew up on the edge of pueblo society at the edge of the Laguna Pueblo reservation. While her parents worked\, Silko and her two sisters were cared for by their grandmother\, Lillie Stagner\, and great-grandmother\, Helen Romero\, both story-tellers. Silko learned much of the traditional stories of the Laguna people from her grandmother\, whom she called A’mooh\, her aunt Susie\, and her grandfather Hank during her early years. \nThe Indigenous Peoples’ Reading Group  has grown from the enthusiastic call for the need of greater understanding of the long history of the peoples of North America who were here before and remain after the European colonists came to settle and bring this hemisphere and those peoples under their control and exploitation\, following a stirring presentation by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz this past September. \nSuggested donation: $95 to $125\nNo one turned away for inability to pay
