Great White Hoax: Donald Trump and the Politics of Race and Class in America
<p>Acclaimed anti-racist educator and author Tim Wise explores how Donald Trump expertly tapped into long-simmering racial tensions and rode an accelerating wave of white anxiety and grievance straight to the White House.</p><p>Rejecting the notion that Trump’s racial appeals to white voters during the 2016 campaign somehow represented a break with business as usual, Wise shows how the politics of racial scapegoating have been operative in conservative and establishment Republican circles for decades. He also rejects the notion that the rise of Trump can be explained by the Democratic Party’s failure to speak to the economic anxieties of white working-class voters, showing how it was cultural anxiety, more than anything else, that motivated Trump’s white supporters.</p><p>THE GREAT WHITE HOAX offers a fascinating look at how conservative political leaders and strategists have been tapping into anxieties about cultural change to win the support of white Americans, especially white men, for decades. And it makes a powerful case for why Trumpism, and the politics of racial scapegoating, are destined to fail in the end. (Run time: 1.5 hours)</p><p>This screening will be followed by a Q&A session moderated by <strong>Anthony Arrington,</strong> Managing Partner at Top Rank Solutions.</p><p>Doors open at 5 PM. The screening will begin at 5:30.</p><p><br></p> 2019-10-03 20:00:00 -0500

Book Club: Beloved
<p><em>Beloved</em> is the story–set in post-Civil War Ohio–of Sethe, an escaped slave who has risked death in order to wrench herself from a living death; who has lost a husband and buried a child; who has borne the unthinkable and not gone mad: a woman of “iron eyes and backbone to match.” Sethe lives in a small house on the edge of town with her daughter, Denver, her mother-in-law, Baby Suggs, and a disturbing, mesmerizing intruder who calls herself Beloved.</p><p>Sethe works at “beating back the past,” but it is alive in all of them. It keeps Denver fearful of straying from the house. It fuels the sadness that has settled into Baby Suggs’ “desolated center where the self that was no self made its home.” And to Sethe, the past makes itself heard and felt incessantly: in memories that both haunt and soothe her…in the arrival of Paul D (“There was something blessed in his manner. Women saw him and wanted to weep”), one of her fellow slaves on the farm where she had once been kept…in the vivid and painfully cathartic stories she and Paul D tell each other of their years in captivity, of their glimpses of freedom…and, most powerfully, in the apparition of Beloved, whose eyes are expressionless at their deepest point, whose doomed childhood belongs to the hideous logic of slavery and who, as daughter, sister and seductress, has now come from the “place over there” to claim retribution for what she lost and for what was taken from her.</p><p>Sethe’s struggle to keep Beloved from gaining full possession of her present–and to throw off the long, dark legacy of her past–is at the center of this profoundly affecting and startling novel. But its intensity and resonance of feeling, and the boldness of its narrative, lift it beyond its particulars so that it speaks to our experience as an entire nation with a past of both abominable and ennobling circumstance.</p><p><a href="https://blackiowa.org/wrbgbookclub/">Learn more</a> about our book club and other upcoming meetings. <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/well-read-black-girl-book-club-beloved-tickets-73501730655">Register</a> to receive 20% off selected titles at Next Page Books.</p> 2019-10-03 19:00:00 -0500

Thursday Forum - Populism and Democracy in Venezuela, Brazil, Turkey, and the U.S.
<p>In recent decades, democracies around the world have been weakened by populist governments. In this four-week forum, Coe physics department faculty originally from Turkey, Brazil, Venezuela and the United States will explore the status and crisis of democracy in their home countries. Assistant Professor of Physics Firdevs Duru and Associate Professor Physics Ugur Akgun begin the series by focusing on Turkey, the only predominantly Muslim democratic country in the world. After tracing the early twentieth-century roots of Turkish democracy, the presenters will discuss present-day threats to this seventy-year-old democracy under rule of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Assistant Professor of Physics Caio Bragatto moves the story to the stormy history of democracy in Brazil from the 1980s to today's controversial Jair Bolsonaro government. Fran Allison and Francis Halpin Professor of Physics Mario Affatigato will then discuss Venezuela's democratic journey, tracing events from 1947 to the present-day presidencies of Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro. B.D. Silliman Professor of Physics Steve Feller, a native of Brooklyn, New York, will conclude the forum by discussing the status of populist politics and democracy in the U.S. The session will use the lens of New York City and State politics and politicians (including Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Rudy Giuliani, Kristen Gillibrand and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) to assess how the present compares to other moments of tumult and fracture in American Populist politics. </p> 2019-09-12 11:30:00 -050010/31/198:45 a.m.Coe College, Hickok Hall, Kesler Lecture HallCedar Rapids -
