In our January meeting we’ll be discussing the book Women, Race & Class by Angela Y. Davis. Published in 1981, the political activist, scholar, author, and speaker writes about the history of social and political influences of whiteness and elitism in feminism. She contextualises in 13 chapters - which can be seen as individual essays - the legacy and pitfalls of civil and women’s rights activists, while she also discusses communist women and education with liberation. In addition [trigger warning] rape and the myth of the black rapist as well as birth control and reproduction rights will be discussed

We’ll meet on Sunday 21st of January at 16:30 at NieuwLand

There will be a donation jar and some refreshments available (cash or pin)
Please think about donating something if you are able; a place like NieuwLand can only exist through the contributions of volunteers and friends, who know of the importance of places like this, which exist alternative to an individualistic society, capitalist economy and gentrifying neighbourhoods
