The portrait of John McCain painted in Gook is far more disturbing than any racial epithet. A central thesis of the book is that war fertilizes racism, and racism justifies wars and the killing of civilians. This dynamic thrives within the most dangerous leaders of the world. Is John McCain one of them? Join discussion on the power of words, symbolism, racism, hate, war, violence, and ultimately hope.The Social Justice Action Coalition & Upstream on KVRX present: Irwin Tang, author of Gook: John McCain's Racism and Why It Matters
1925 San Jacinto Boulevard Free Pizza! All welcome! |
