SUMMARY:Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz with Steve Wasserman: Not a Nation of Immigrants
DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM presents \nRoxanne Dunbar-Ortiz with Steve Wasserman: A KPFA Zoom Event \nNot a Nation of Immigrants: Settler Colonialism\, White Supremacy\, and a History of Erasure and Exclusion \n“Her thought-work and writing are both full-force with courage and wisdom. In the age of telling truth\, she says\, the US has yet to correct its narrative to acknowledge its settler-colonialist and imperialist past and present. This book should be taught in classrooms; readers will finish it changed.” \n-Booklist\, Starred Review \n“Dunbar-Ortiz’s message is clear: uplifting narratives about the United States as a ‘nation of immigrants’ allow the country to hide from its history of colonialism\, genocide\, slavery\, and racism . . . . [T]his thought-provoking account will prove insightful for all.” \n-Library Journal \nMany Americans will say proudly that we are a nation of immigrants. In this bold new book\, acclaimed historian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz asserts that this self-congratulatory myth is harmful because it masks the US’s history of settler colonialism\, genocide\, white supremacy\, slavery\, and structural inequality\, all of which we still grapple with today. This myth\, she claims\, is a convenient response by the ruling class to the demands for decolonialization\, reparations\, and social justice. This paradigm-shifting new work from the author of An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States insists that we need to stop perpetuating this simplistic and inaccurate ideal and embrace the real history of the United States. \nRoxanne Dunbar-Ortiz grew up in rural Oklahoma\, the daughter of a tenant farmer. Dunbar-Ortiz has been active in the international Indigenous movement for more than four decades. She is the author of eight books. \nSteve Wasserman is currently publisher of the award-winning Heyday Books. \nSuggested Donation $5-$20. \n  \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/roxanne-dunbar-ortiz-not-a-nation-of-immigrants-tickets-170048201749

SUMMARY:Black Nature\, Poetry\, and Coexistence: Camille T. Dungy & Ross Gay
DESCRIPTION:Please join us in welcoming two extraordinary poets to ARC’s virtual stage for readings and conversation: Camille T. Dungy and Ross Gay. In addition to four collections of poetry\, Camille Dungy edited Black Nature: Four Centuries of African American Nature Poetry\, the first anthology to focus on nature writing by African American poets. By using social and literary history to broaden our concept of nature poetry\, Dungy challenged and changed that framework to include poets writing out of slavery\, Reconstruction\, the Harlem Renaissance\, the Black Arts Movement\, and late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century African American poetic movements. Ross Gay is interested in studying joy. His four books of poetry include the National Book Award winning Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude (2015)\, and his latest\, Be Holding (2020)\, is the winner of the PEN /Jean Stein Book Award. Gay is also the author of the NYT bestselling collection of essays\, The Book of Delights\, and co-author\, with Aimee Nezhukumatathil\, of the chapbook Lace and Pyrite: Letters from Two Gardens. A long time gardener and advocate for cultivating community\, Gay is a founding member of the food justice and joy project the Bloomington Community Orchard.
