Book Club Gathering: June 4, 2012

The Rhetoric Race and Religion book club will convene on June 4, 2012 at 6:00pm at the Caritas Village located at 2509 Harvard in Memphis, Tennessee. For those not able to make it in person, we will conduct a live tweet chat starting at 7:15pm (CST) using #R3bookclub #sistercitizen. After the first Mondays of the month, we continue the discussion on twitter every Monday in the month at 7:15pm (CST). Donna Brazile notes that “Sister Citizen carefully documents the complex challenges and hurdles Black women face in the 21st century. Harris-Perry’s book is both insightful and provocative.” Henry Louis Gates notes that “Melissa Harris-Perry is one of our most trenchant readers of modern black life. In Sister Citizen, she gives new life to the idea that ‘the personal is political.’ This book will change the conversation about the rights, responsibilities, and burdens of citizenship.”  The book club is free and open to the public. To join or get more information, please call 901-327-5246 or contact us on our Facebook page or Twitter
