On Saturday July 21st from 9am-3pm there will be a Harry Potter day of magic and mischief here. Get your costumes ready and reserve your copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. We’ll feature reading from the new book, movies, skits, yummy treats, and special prizes!
On Thursday, July 26th at 7pm we will host a discussion of the book Discourse on Colonialism by Aime Cesaire. The discussion will be led by Jonathon Eburne of PSU’s Comparative Literature department assisted by Ran Mitra. The book is available at East-West Crossings at a 10% discount.
Cesaire is best known as “the poet from Martinique” who contributed much to an anti-colonial aesthetic. But he was also a political thinker whose indictment of colonialism became an inspiration to many struggles including civil rights and anti-war movements here. On Wednesday July 25th, we’ll feature some of his poems at the poerty reading session.
