[reg johanson]

it was really good to see you all. i'm excited for the revitalized SAP. Pls
find below a revised invite to the reading group along the lines we
discussed. any feedback? then we will post.

`````````
Solidarity Against Patriarchy (SAP) invites you to read with us! We are
forming a reading group around two texts, Silvia Federici’s *Caliban and
the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation* (Autonomedia 2004)
and Andrea Smith’s *Conquest: Sexual Violence and American Indian
Genocide*(South End Press 2005).

We will start with *Conquest*. Books are available at Spartacus Books.
Copies will be available for low-income participants. Please RSVP if you
require a book so we know how many copies to have on hand.

In the meantime, a pdf copy of the foreword, introduction, and first
chapter will be sent to everyone who RSVPs through the FB page.

Snacks and refreshments!

 We are interested in these texts because they discuss two foundational
moments in the establishment of patriarchy, one marking the beginning of
capitalism in Europe, and one marking the beginning of capitalism on Turtle
Island. Reading them together can give us a deep intersectional perspective
on the relationships between patriarchy, capitalism, and colonialism.

 Meeting dates:

Sept. 17: introductions: to each other, to Solidarity Against Patriarchy,
to *Conquest*. At this meeting we will collectively decide how to run the
group, ie pace, topics etc.

Tentative schedule:

Oct. 1: *Conquest*

Oct. 15: *Conquest*

Oct. 29: *Conquest*

Nov. 12: *Caliban *

Nov. 26: *Caliban*

Dec.10: *Caliban*
