For the next anarchist reading circle, we will be discussing Rebecca Solnit’s ‘A Paradise Built in Hell: The extraordinary communities that arise in disaster.’ During our last session we had a discussion about the whole ‘pessimistic/optimistic’ debate regarding human nature, whether or not our intrinsic sociability or orientation to help each other would arise in the event of system collapse (or if we even have such an orientation), etc.
As always, we are meeting on unceded Lekwungen terrritory, at Camas Books 2620 Quadra street at 7pm (doors at 6:50). The reading is available for download on the right hand side of our website.
