SUMMARY:The Diesel Readers Book Group - - Radio Free Vermont
DESCRIPTION:East Bay Booksellers invites you to The Diesel Readers Book Group’s discussion of Radio Free Vermont by Bill McKibben\, on Monday February 11th at 7pm. \nAs the host of Radio Free Vermont–“underground\, underpowered\, and underfoot”–seventy-two-year-old Vern Barclay is currently broadcasting from an “undisclosed and double-secret location.” With the help of a young computer prodigy named Perry Alterson\, Vern uses his radio show to advocate for a simple yet radical idea: an independent Vermont\, one where the state secedes from the United States and operates under a free local economy. But for now\, he and his radio show must remain untraceable\, because in addition to being a lifelong Vermonter and concerned citizen\, Vern Barclay is also a fugitive from the law. \nIn Radio Free Vermont\, Bill McKibben entertains and expands upon an idea that’s become more popular than ever–seceding from the United States. Along with Vern and Perry\, McKibben imagines an eccentric group of activists who carry out their own version of guerilla warfare\, which includes dismissing local middle school children early in honor of ‘Ethan Allen Day’ and hijacking a Coors Light truck and replacing the stock with local brew. Witty\, biting\, and terrifyingly timely\, Radio Free Vermont is Bill McKibben’s fictional response to the burgeoning resistance movement. \n  \n\n\n\n\n** The Diesel Readers is an ongoing group\, and is open to all. ** \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nMonday\, February 11\, 2019 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nEast Bay Booksellers\n5433 College Avenue\n\nOakland\, CA 94618

Currently based in Delhi\, she has authored more than twenty books\, Including Who Really Feeds the World?\, The Failures of Agribusiness and the Promise of Agroecology and Making Peace with the Earth. She is one of the leaders and board members of the International Forum on Globalization (along with Jerry Mander\, Edward Goldsmith\, Ralph Nader\, Jeremy Rifkin) and a figure of the global solidarity movement known as the alter-globalization movement. She has argued for the wisdom of many traditional practices\, as evidenced by her interview in the book Vedic Ecology. She received the Right Livelihood Award in 1993\, an honor known as an “Alternative Nobel Prize”. \nVijaya Nagarajan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Theology/Religious Studies and in the Program of Environmental Studies at the University of San Francisco. \nEvery day millions of Tamil women in southeast India wake up before dawn to create the kolam\, a ritual design made of rice flour\, on the thresholds of homes. This thousand year-old ritual welcomes and honors the goddesses Lakshmi and Bhudevi. Propelled by a lifelong interest and deeply informed research\, Nagarajan provides a poetic and surprising entry into the layered complexities of Hindu culture. Braiding Tamil women’s voices and the author’s own stories\, Feeding a Thousand Souls offers different knowledge traditions–beauty\, history\, gender\, literature\, religion\, anthropology\, mathematics\, and ecology. \n$12 advance\, $15 door. \nPresented by KPFA Radio 94.1 FM.
