DESCRIPTION:New College of California and Modern Times present a reading at Modern 
 Times, 888 Valencia St.,  San Francisco\n\n"Horizontalism: Voices of 
 Popular Power in Argentina" \nMarina Sitrin\n- Wednesday, March 14 \n- 7:30 
 PM \n\nHorizontalism: Voices of Popular Power in Argentina is an oral 
 history of the autonomous social movements in Argentina since the popular 
 rebellion in 2001. It reflects the voices of many dozens of people who are 
 recreating their lives and communities using horizontal forms of social 
 organization. These movements range from occupied and recuperated 
 factories, arts and independent media collectives, indigenous communities, 
 neighborhood assemblies, feminist and queer groups and unemployed workers 
 movements.\n\nThis book explores what people are doing, what motivates 
 them, how they are relating to one another, and how they have changed 
 individually and collectively in the creation process. It is not so much a 
 movement of new actions, but rather a movement of new social actors, new 
 subjects, and new protagonists. So many in the movements speak of how they 
 have changed as individuals and how their communities have changed, based 
 on these new ways of organizing and creating. \n\nThe book tries to show, 
 in people’s own voices, that we can change our worlds, we are changing 
 our worlds, and we can do so with love, trust, real democracy, 
 horizontalism in this case, and autonomy.\n \nMarina Sitrin is a dreamer, 
 teacher, student, and militant. She is the editor of Horizontalism: Voices
