SUMMARY:Rachel Roy & Ava Dash: 96 Words for Love
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Roy & Ava Dash: 96 Words for Love\n\n\n\n\n\n01/17/2019 – 6:00pm\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFiction\n\n\n\n\nReading/Talk\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEver since her acceptance to UCLA\, 17-year-old Raya Liston has been quietly freaking out. She feels simultaneously lost and trapped by a future already mapped out for her. Then her beloved grandmother dies\, and Raya jumps at the chance to spend her last free summer at the ashram in India where her grandmother met and fell in love with her grandfather. Raya hopes to find her center and her true path. A modern retelling of the classic Indian legend of Shakuntala and Dushyanta\, 96 Words for Love is a coming-of-age story about finding yourself in unexpected places. \nRachel Roy is the daughter of an Indian immigrant father and Dutch mother. Rachel is the founder and creative director of her eponymous brand and a tireless activist for using your voice to cultivate change in the world and to design the life you wish to live. Ava Dash is the daughter of fashion designer Rachel Roy. Ava works with young adults that have aged out of the foster care system as well as former sex trafficked girls in India. Inspired from her travels with her mother\, Ava hopes to start a give back business that provides critical resources to educate and empower the girls she has met on her travels to India. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBook Passage \n\n1 Ferry Building\nSan Francisco\, CA 94111

SUMMARY:Book Launch with TONY PLATT at Books Inc. Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Tony Platt\, Distinguished Affiliated Scholar at the Center for the Study of Law & Society\, UC Berkeley\, discusses his groundbreaking new work\, Beyond These Walls: Rethinking Crime and Punishment in the United States. \nBeyond These Walls is an ambitious and far-ranging exploration that tracks the legacy of crime and imprisonment in the United States\, from the historical roots of the American criminal justice system to our modern state of over-incarceration\, and offers a bold vision for a new future. Author Tony Platt\, a recognized authority in the field of criminal justice\, challenges the way we think about how and why millions of people are tracked\, arrested\, incarcerated\, catalogued\, and regulated in the United States. \nBeyond These Walls traces the disturbing history of punishment and social control\, revealing how the criminal justice system attempts to enforce and justify inequalities associated with class\, race\, gender\, and sexuality. Prisons and police departments are central to this process\, but other institutions – from immigration and welfare to educational and public health agencies – are equally complicit. \nPlatt argues that international and national politics shape perceptions of danger and determine the policies of local criminal justice agencies\, while private policing and global corporations are deeply and undemocratically involved in the business of homeland security. \nFinally\, Beyond These Walls demonstrates why efforts to reform criminal justice agencies have often expanded rather than contracted the net of social control. Drawing upon a long tradition of popular resistance\, Platt concludes with a strategic vision of what it will take to achieve justice for all in this era of authoritarian disorder. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nThursday\, January 17\, 2019 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nBooks Inc.\n1491 Shattuck Ave\n\nBerkeley\, CA

We love John Berger here at Wolfman and we couldn’t be more excited about this book!

You don’t want to miss this! \nJoshua Sperling was born in New York City and grew up in California. His writing has appeared in the Brooklyn Rail\, Guernica\, Film Quarterly\, Jump Cut and Bullett Magazine\, among other publications.
