Wednesday, July 10, 2019, 5:30 p.m. - SUMMER READING GROUP

​For our Summer Reading Group, we discussed Silvia Federici's "Caliban and the Witch," a brief but expansive history on how capitalism maintains and benefits from racial and gender exploitation and encourages the ravaging of our environment. A free, authorized PDF of her book can be found here for discussion at Brews Brothers Taproom in Murphysboro (1105 Chestnut St., just south of the Jackson County Courthouse).
