SUMMARY:Spring reading group: "Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fatphobia"
DESCRIPTION:Spring is excited to announce the third session of our reading group for Sabrina String’s book\, “Fearing the Black Body: The Racial Origins of Fatphobia.” \nString argues that the contemporary ideal of slenderness is\, at its very core\, racialized and racist. Indeed\, it was not until the early twentieth century\, when racialized attitudes against fatness were already entrenched in the culture\, that the medical establishment began its crusade against obesity. An important and original work\, Fearing the Black Body argues convincingly that fatphobia isn’t about health at all\, but rather a means of using the body to validate race\, class\, and gender prejudice. \nAs a socialists we hope to address the presence of fatphobia in leftist spaces and begin a conversation regarding fatphobia as a race\, class\, and gender issue. \nAt this session\, we will be reviewing and discussing Part 3. \nEmail Spring at info@springmag.ca for the Zoom link and/or if you have any other questions.

SUMMARY:From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation reading group
DESCRIPTION:Join Spring Magazine as we read and discuss Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor’s book From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation. \n“The eruption of mass protests in the wake of the police murders of Michael Brown in Ferguson\, Missouri and Eric Garner in New York City have challenged the impunity with which officers of the law carry out violence against Black people and punctured the illusion of a postracial America. The Black Lives Matter movement has awakened a new generation of activists. In this stirring and insightful analysis\, activist and scholar Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor surveys the historical and contemporary ravages of racism and persistence of structural inequality such as mass incarceration and Black unemployment. In this context\, she argues that this new struggle against police violence holds the potential to reignite a broader push for Black liberation.” \nBook available here: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/778-from-blacklivesmatter-to-black-liberation \nFor this meeting\, please read the Chapter 6 and Chapter 7.
