An Evening with Dr. Victor Ray
<p>Next Page Books will host Dr. Victor Ray, University of Iowa associate professor and author of On Critical Race Theory: Why it Matters and Why You Should Care, at 7pm Wednesday, October 12 at CSPS Hall. This event is free and open to the public.</p><p>On Critical Race Theory explains the centrality of race in American history and politics, and how the often-mischaracterized intellectual movement became a political necessity.</p><p>Dr. Ray draws upon the radical thinking of giants such as Ida B. Wells, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to clearly trace the foundations of critical race theory in the Black intellectual traditions of emancipation and the civil rights movement. From these foundations, Ray explores the many facets of our society that critical race theory interrogates, from deeply embedded structural racism to the historical connection between whiteness and property, ownership, and more.</p><p>ABOUT THE AUTHOR</p><p>After receiving his Bachelor of Arts in urban studies at Vassar, Ray earned his PhD from Duke University in 2014. His work has been published in several peer-reviewed journals, including American Sociological Review and The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. He is a nonresident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and his research has been funded by the Ford Foundation. His social and critical commentary has appeared in outlets such as The Washington Post, Newsweek, Harvard Business Review, and Boston Review.</p><p>In 2021, Ray was named to the F. Wendell Miller Associate Professorship at the University of Iowa. He serves on the faculty of the Department of Sociology and Criminology and the African American Studies Program.</p> 2022-09-12 20:30:00 -0500

Art Lovers Book Club: The House of Fragile Things: Jewish Art Collectors and the Fall of France by James McAuley
<p>In the dramatic years between 1870 and the end of World War II, a number of prominent French Jews—pillars of an embattled community—invested their fortunes in France’s cultural artifacts, sacrificed their sons to the country’s army, and were ultimately rewarded by seeing their collections plundered and their families deported to Nazi concentration camps.<br><br>In this rich, evocative account, James McAuley explores the central role that art and material culture played in the assimilation and identity of French Jews in the<em> fin-de-siècle</em>. Weaving together narratives of various figures, some familiar from the works of Marcel Proust and the diaries of Jules and Edmond Goncourt—the Camondos, the Rothschilds, the Ephrussis, the Cahens d'Anvers—McAuley shows how Jewish art collectors contended with a powerful strain of anti-Semitism: they were often accused of “invading” France’s cultural patrimony. The collections these families left behind—many ultimately donated to the French state—were their response, tragic attempts to celebrate a nation that later betrayed them.</p> 2022-03-17 17:00:00 -0500
