SUMMARY:Zoe Samudzi presents AS BLACK AS RESISTANCE
DESCRIPTION:EAST BAY BOOKSELLERS welcomes Zoe Samudzi to discuss her book As Black As Resistance: Finding the Conditions for Liberation\, on Tuesday\, July 10th at 7pm. \nOver the course of United States history\, resistance against oppression and the gains made from various struggles for everyone’s equality have often been Black led. However\, liberal politics and the lack of strong leftist political power are two problems impeding the continued progress of Black America. Expanding on their original essay The Anarchism Of Blackness\, Samudzi and Anderson make the case for a new program of transformative politics for Black Americans\, one rooted in an anarchistic framework likened to the Black experience itself. This is not a compromising book that negotiates with intolerance. As Black as Resistance is a declaration for everyone who is ready to continue progressing towards liberation for all people. \nAbout the Author \nZoé Samudzi is a writer and doctoral student in Medical Sociology at the University of California\, San Francisco. Her research focuses on the scientific logics that produce race and gender\, particularly focusing on transgender health and the ways Blackness is constructed.

SUMMARY:Film Critic Joseph McBride on Ernst Lubitch
DESCRIPTION:Join film critic Joseph McBride as he discusses the work of Ernst Lubitsch. This is a book launch for How Did Lubitsch Do It\, forthcoming from Columbia University Press in June. \n“Joseph McBride’s study of Lubitsch matches the breadth and range of his incomparable work on Welles and Ford. Reading it\, it is impossible not to want to see each of the director’s greatest films again or for the first time-readers will be driven straight to seek out not only the repertory standards but the silents\, the musicals\, and the German films. It is especially gratifying to see McBride apply his supple understanding of the intricacies of Lubitsch’s sexual politics to the paradoxes lurking for contemporary viewers\, exploring how the films play both against and into feminist readings. McBride doesn’t shy from such explorations\, but never leaps to premature conclusions. The book is an act of devotion matched to the heart\nof its subject.” – Jonathan Lethem
