SUMMARY:Joshua Yaffa in conversation with Amanda Silverman
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery hosts Joshua Yaffa for his new book Between Two Fires: Truth\, Ambition\, and Compromise in Putins Russia. He’ll be in conversation with Mother Jones editorial director Amanda Silverman. Please join us! \nPlease note: This is a ticketed event\, to be held at The Bindery (1727 Haight St.). The price of admission may be applied\, at the event\, toward the purchase of Between Two Fires\, or to a beverage at The Bindery’s bar. Advance tickets are highly encouraged — tickets are not guaranteed to be available at the door. \n\n“Unforgettable . . . This is a book about Putin’s Russia that is unlike any other.” – Patrick Radden Keefe\, author of Say Nothing \nIn this rich and novelistic tour of contemporary Russia\, Joshua Yaffa introduces readers to some of the country’s most remarkable figures — from politicians and entrepreneurs to artists and historians — who have built their careers and constructed their identities in the shadow of the Putin system. Torn between their own ambitions and the omnipresent demands of the state\, each walks an individual path of compromise. Some muster cunning and cynicism to extract all manner of benefits and privileges from those in power. Others\, finding themselves to be less adept\, are left broken and demoralized. What binds them together is the tangled web of dilemmas and contradictions they face. \nBetween Two Fires chronicles the lives of a number of strivers who understand that their dreams are best — or only — realized through varying degrees of cooperation with the Russian government. With sensitivity and depth\, Yaffa profiles the director of the country’s main television channel\, an Orthodox priest at war with the church hierarchy\, a Chechen humanitarian who turns a blind eye to persecutions\, and many others. The result is an intimate and probing portrait of a nation that is much discussed yet little understood. By showing how citizens shape their lives around the demands of a capricious and frequently repressive state — as often by choice as under threat of force — Yaffa offers urgent lessons about the true nature of modern authoritarianism. \n\nJoshua Yaffa is a correspondent for The New Yorker in Moscow. For his work in Russia\, he has been named a fellow at New America\, a recipient of the American Academy’s Berlin Prize\, and a finalist for the Livingston Award. Author photo by Max Avdeev. \nAmanda Silverman is the editorial director (newsroom) based in Mother Jones San Francisco office.

SUMMARY:Jennifer S. Hirsch / Sexual Citizens: A Landmark Study of Sex\, Power\, and Assault on Campus
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith hosts Jennifer S. Hirsch\, co-author with Shamus Khan of the new book Sexual Citizens: A Landmark Study of Sex\, Power\, and Assault on Campus. Please join us! \nSexual Citizens is a groundbreaking study that transforms how we see and address the most misunderstood problem on college campuses: widespread sexual assault. \nThe fear of campus sexual assault has become an inextricable part of the college experience. And for far too many students\, that fear is realized. Research has shown that by the time they graduate\, as many as one in three women and almost one in six men will have been sexually assaulted. But why is sexual assault such a common feature of college life? And what can be done to prevent it? Sexual Citizens provides answers. Drawing on the Sexual Health Initiative to Foster Transformation (SHIFT) at Columbia University\, the most comprehensive study of sexual assault on a campus to date\, Jennifer S. Hirsch and Shamus Khan present an entirely new framework that emphasizes sexual assault’s social roots\, transcending current debates about consent\, predators in a “hunting ground\,” and the dangers of hooking up. \nSexual Citizens is based on years of research interviewing and observing college life—with students of different races\, genders\, sexual orientations\, and socioeconomic backgrounds. Hirsch and Khan’s landmark study reveals the social ecosystem that makes sexual assault so predictable\, explaining how physical spaces\, alcohol\, peer groups\, and cultural norms influence young people’s experiences and interpretations of both sex and sexual assault. Through the powerful concepts of “sexual projects\,” “sexual citizenship\,” and “sexual geographies\,” the authors offer a new and widely-accessible language for understanding the forces that shape young people’s sexual relationships. Empathetic\, insightful\, and far-ranging\, Sexual Citizens transforms our understanding of sexual assault and offers a roadmap for how to address it. \n\nJennifer S. Hirsch is a professor of sociomedical sciences at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University\, and codirects SHIFT\, the Sexual Health Initiative to Foster Transformation\, at Columbia University. \n\nThis event is free and all ages. \nRSVP appreciated but not required. \nAs with all of our events\, seating may be limited; you can guarantee a seat by pre-purchasing the book below — when checking out\, just be sure to include a note that you’d like to attend the event. If you cannot attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of Sexual Citizens\, order below and be sure to put your request in the comments field.
