[Tami Starlight]

FYI



The summer is sliding by, and maybe a summer reading list has grown in your
pocket.
where better to fulfill those intellectual summer prowis then within the
doors of spartacus books.
weather your curious about the physiology of anarchist thought, so you can
deconstruct the post hockey game riots.
or you want to read about labour history so you can show solidarity with the
post office workers, then do we have the book for you!
and what blocks a foot full of sand better then a book?

spartacus also has an exciting project underway, if you have noticed while
wandering the streets of vancouver, there is not a phone booth to be found.
  prominently featured outside our doors is an answer to that problem, the
peoples phone! a group of spartan's has bound together to solve the problem
of poor communication.
so come down and make some free phone calls, with the whir of traffic
returning to the background of your phone calls.

AS a celebration of genocide and colonization also approaches so does a day
of cheep books! spartacus books is having a sale! july 1-3 all our books
will be on sale! 25-35% off on all our books! we need room on our selves to
order more, so lets clean then up. we are too lazy to do it ourselves.

here are some of our new titles to massage your brain waves and tickle your
feet into coming down and hanging out:


*Reclaiming the F word: the new feminist movement* by Catherine Redfern and
Kristin Aune
"In today's 'post-feminist' society, women and men are considered equal. For
younger women and men, feminism is often portrayed as unfashionable and
irrelevant. But since the beginning of the new millennium a revitalized
feminist movement has emerged to challenge these assumptions and assert a
vibrant new agenda. This groundbreaking book reveals the what, why and how
of the new feminist movement and what it has to say about women's lives in
today's society. From cosmetic surgery to celebrity culture and girl power
to globalization, from rape to religion and sex to singleness, this book
reveals the seven vital issues at stake for today's feminists, unveils the
beginnings of a fresh and diverse wave of feminism, and calls a new
generation back to action
Broke but unbroken: grassroots social movements and their radical solutions
to poverty."

*The revolution starts at home: confronting intimate violence within
activist Communities*
The extent of the violence affecting our communities is staggering. Nearly
one in three women in the United States will experience intimate violence in
her lifetime. And while intimate violence affects relationships across the
sexuality and gender spectrums, the likelihood of isolation and irreparable
harm, including death, is even greater within LGBTQI communities. To
effectively resist violence out there—in the prison system, on militarized
borders, or other clear encounters with "the system"—we must challenge how
it is reproduced right where we live. It's one thing when the perpetrator is
the police, the state, or someone we don't know. It's quite another when
that person is someone we call a friend, lover, and trusted ally.

*We called each other comrade: Charles H. Kerr & company, radical publishers
*
"This is the history of the most significant translator, publisher, and
distributor of left-wing literature in the United States. Based in Chicago
and still publishing, Charles H. Kerr & Company began in 1886 as a publisher
of Unitarian tracts. The company's focus changed after its founder, the son
of abolitionist activists, became a socialist at the turn of the century. "

*Gay genius*
*"Gay Genius* is a comics anthology illuminating the past, present and
future of queer history makers. It is a labor of love, a celebration of
possibility, an offering to the ancestors. Conceived and edited by Annie
Murphy, *Gay Genius* is a showcase of contemporary radical queer
visionaries-to-watch-out-for."
