SUMMARY:Dread Poetry and Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Dread Poetry and Freedom:\nLinton Kwesi Johnson and the Unfinished Revolution \nDavid Austin\nwith an introduction by Lewis Gordon \nWhat is the relationship between poetry and social change? \nStanding at the forefront of political poetry since the 1970s\, Linton Kwesi Johnson has been fighting neo-fascism\, police violence and promoting socialism while putting pen to paper to refute W.H. Auden’s claim that ‘poetry makes nothing happen’. For Johnson\, only the second living poet to have been published in the Penguin Modern Classics series\, writing has always been ‘a political act’ and poetry ‘a cultural weapon’. \nIn Dread Poetry and Freedom — the first book dedicated to the work of this ‘political poet par excellence’ – David Austin explores the themes of poetry\, political consciousness and social transformation through the prism of Johnson’s work. Drawing from the Bible\, reggae and Rastafari\, and surrealism\, socialism and feminism\, and in dialogue with Aime Cesaire and Frantz Fanon\, C.L.R. James and Walter Rodney\, and W.E.B. Du Bois and the poetry of d’bi young anitafrika\, Johnson’s work becomes a crucial point of reflection on the meaning of freedom in this masterful and rich study. \nIn the process\, Austin demonstrates why art\, and particularly poetry\, is a vital part of our efforts to achieve genuine social change in times of dread. \nDavid Austin is the author of the Casa de las Americas Prize-winning Fear of a Black Nation: Race\, Sex\, and Security in Sixties Montreal\, Moving Against the System: The 1968 Congress of Black Writers and the Making of Global Consciousness\, and Dread Poetry and Freedom: Linton Kwesi Johnson and the Unfinished Revolution. He is also the editor of You Don’t Play with Revolution: The Montreal Lectures of C.L.R. James. \nLewis Gordon teaches in the United States and in South Africa\, where he is the Nelson Mandela Visiting Professor of Politics and International Studies\, and in Toulouse\, France\, where he holds the European Union Visiting Chair in philosophy. His recent book What Fanon Said has become a primary source on understanding the work of Fanon. He is known not only for his writings on Frantz Fanon\, W.E.B. Du Bois\, Frederick Douglass\, Anna Julia Cooper\, Steve Bantu Biko\, and many others\, but also his work in philosophy\, politics\, and varieties of thought in the global south. \nTickets are sliding scale / No one turned away for inability to pay

SUMMARY:May Made Me
DESCRIPTION:An oral history of the 1968 uprising in France\nWith author Mitch Abidor\nat New Perspectives Studio\n456-458 West 37th Street (near 10th Avenue)/Manhattan \nThe mass protests that shook France in May 1968 were exciting\, dangerous\, creative and influential\, changing European politics to this day. Students demonstrated\, workers went on general strike\, factories and universities were occupied. At the height of its momentum\, the protests brought the entire national economy to a halt. The protests reached such a point that the French and international bourgeoisie feared civil war or revolution. \nFifty years later\, here are the eye-opening oral testimonies of those young rebels. By listening to the voices of students and workers\, as opposed to those of their leaders\, May ’68 appears not just as a mass event\, but rather as an event driven by millions of individuals\, creating a mosaic human portrait of France at the time.  \nPublished on the 50th anniversary of those days in the spring of 68\, May Made Me presents the legacy of the uprising: how those explosive experiences changed the individuals who participated and their lives as lived since then. \nMitch Abidor is a translator from Brooklyn whose  many translations include A Socialist History of the French Revolution by Jean Jaurès and Anarchists Never Surrender and other works by Victor Serge.
