Pegasus Downtown and Brit Tzedek present Joel Schalit, editor of Zeek Online, reading from his new book Israel vs. Utopia

In Israel vs. Utopia (Akashic Books, 2009) Israeli American journalist Joel Schalit distinguishes between the Israel he knows, and the image of it that exists in the imagination of Americans.  Schalit will discuss his new book as well as European perspectives on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Kim Hermanson will read and discuss Getting Messy, an invitation to a radically different way of teaching that emphasizes the human over the mechanical and the ethical over the material.  The evening includes exercises from Getting Messy that will inspire us to turn the messy business of being human into the stuff that makes us grow. All are welcome.

In The Vegetarian Myth, Lierre Keith argues that a vegetarian diet isn’t the way to save the planet.  Part memoir, part nutritional primer, and part political manifesto, The Vegetarian Myth: Food, Justice and Sustainability challenges everything we know about food politics. Join us for what is sure to be a lively discussion.
