DESCRIPTION:Thinking Critically About Society: Session Two\nThinking about National 
 Identity\n\nDate & Time: Monday, April 8th, 2013 – 6:30pm-8pm\nLocation: 
 Old Capitol Books, 559 Tyler Street, downtown Monterey, across from the 
 Transit Center\n\nOxford Dictionary defines “nationalism” as 
 “patriotic feeling, principles, or efforts”. However, it also adds that 
 it could be “an extreme form of patriotism marked by a feeling of 
 superiority over other countries.” With current debates in immigration 
 reform, how can we understand the role of nationalism and national identity 
 in the formation of America's immigration policies.  How are public debates 
 when talking about immigration from Latin America different from 
 immigration from Canada or Europe? Is there a place for the discussion of 
 race in questions of national identity?\n\nThis session will begin to 
 approach these questions, looking both at issues of American nationalism 
 and at nationalism from international case studies. \n\nSpecial Guest: 
 Basque social historian David Beorlegui Zarranz from Euskal Herriko 
 Unibertsitatea (The University of the Basque Country) will be joining the 
 seminar and talking about basque national identity, and the Oxford 
 Dictionary's third definition of “nationalism”: “advocacy of 
 political independence for a particular country.”\n\n\nSuggested 
 reading:\n\n1.) Bill Ong Hing. “Vigilante Racism: The De-Americanization 
 of Immigrant America” Michigan Journal of Race and Law 7 (2002). 
 Available at: http://works.bepress.com/billhing/5\n2.) A.M.C. Rowe. 
 “Whose "America"? The Politics of Rhetoric and Space in the Formation of 
 U.S. Nationalism” \n\n______________________\nThinking Critically about 
 Society\n(an informal seminar series)\nat your local bookstore\n\nThis 
 series of seminar sessions has been put together to encourage the exchange 
 of ideas, experiences, and knowledge surrounding a particular topic or 
 theme. We want to create a place where people can meet with other people 
 from Monterey Bay communities to talk about current events and discuss new 
 philosophies and ways of thinking critically about society. Though these 
 seminars have been designed for non-students, and for those of us who have 
 had little or no college experience, everyone is invited to participate. We 
 believe that everyone can have something to offer to the seminars as we 
 move through current debates in politics and different political and social 
 theories.\n\nSession 1: What is Anarchism? Tuesday April 2nd - 
 6:30pm-8pm\nSession 2: Thinking about National Identity. Monday April 8th - 
 6:30pm-8pm\nSession 3: Understanding Marxism. Wednesday April 17th - 
 6:30pm-8pm\nSession 4: What is Gender? Sunday April 21st - 6:30pm-8pm\n
