One of the main features of imperial oppression is control over language. It tends to marginalize or erase anything outside of the standardized system it installed. Language is a culture keeper and a road opener. This book club, in the acknowledgement of that fact, is a post colonial-futuristic-literary discussion portal to activate our imagination to “reworld” the world.

Anti-Racism as Daily Practice: Refuse Shame, Change White Communities, and Help Create A Just World- Book Signing
Anti-Racism as Daily Practice: Refuse Shame, Change White Communities, and Help Create A Just World- Book Signing
July 25, 20246:00 pm - 8:00 pm 2114 Market St, Denver, CO 80205, USA
EVENT TYPE: Author Event
Join us and Rev. Dr. Jennifer Harvey to celebrate and discuss her new book Antiracism as Daily Practice: Refuse Shame, Change White Communities, and Help Create a Just World. Antiracism as Daily Practice explores how white Americans can change their everyday behaviors to confront racism in their spheres of influence.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The Rev. Dr. Jennifer Harvey is an award-winning author, educator, and public speaker who is co-creating the world we want. Through her work, Jen creates space for justice-filled, transformative connections that nurture a world where everyone can flourish.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Antiracism as Daily Practice illustrates the many ways white Americans—those newly waking to the crisis of racism in 2020 and those already aware—can choose behaviors in our everyday lives to grow racial justice. Full of real life stories, this book shows how vital it is for white people to engage in and with our families, through our social networks, in our neighborhoods, and at our jobs to make antiracism a daily living commitment. We have real power in our relationships with other white people—and not enough of us have used it. Dr. Harvey explains why we white people struggle with knowing what to do about racism, and explores the significance of emotions like grief and anger (as well as the harmful role of shame) in really reckoning with the transformation and change needed in our communities to become the partners in justice that Black communities and other communities of color need and deserve. Not only is such transformation vital to the well-being of U.S. democracy. It’s vital to the freedom and wholeness of white people too.
Beyond the Veil Press is excited to announce the book release for local Denver poet Becca Downs! We will be co-hosting a poetry open mic followed by featured reader Suzi Q Smith. Becca will then read and sign copies of her new book, Acid Rain Epithalamium.
Book Description
Acid Rain Epithalamium is the place between grieving a withered promise and letting go of an evaporated future. Becca puts their wedding dress in a box and begins to pick through the wreckage to create a new self. They interrogate the very real dilemmas of our generations: do we procreate to protect our planet? What do we do with a future we never asked for? Acid Rain Epithalamiumexplores the journey through divorce and grief while growing into confidence and exploring queerness.
