DESCRIPTION:With President Trump suggesting that teachers arm themselves, with the NRA 
 portrayed as a group of "patriots" helping to Make America Great Again, 
 with high school students across the country demanding a solution to the 
 crisis, everyone in America needs to engage in the discussion about our 
 future with an informed, historical perspective on the role of guns in our 
 society. America is at a critical turning point. What is the future for our 
 children?\n\n'Loaded: A Disarming History of the Second Amendment' is a 
 deeply researched—and deeply disturbing—history of guns and gun laws in 
 the United States, from the original colonization of the country to the 
 present. As historian and educator Dunbar-Ortiz explains, in order to 
 understand the current obstacles to gun control, we must understand the 
 history of U.S. guns, from their role in the "settling of America" and the 
 early formation of the new nation, and continuing up to the present.\n\n"If 
 . . . anyone at all really wants to 'get to the root causes of gun violence 
 in America,' they will need to start by coming to terms with even a 
 fraction of what Loaded proposes."\n—Los Angeles Review of Books\n\n"Her 
 analysis, erudite and unrelenting, exposes blind spots not just among 
 conservatives, but, crucially, among liberals as well. . . . As a portrait 
 of the deepest structures of American violence, Loaded is an indispensable 
 book."\n—The New Republic\n\nRoxanne Dunbar-Ortiz grew up in rural 
 Oklahoma, the daughter of a tenant farmer and part-Indian mother. She is 
 the author of many previous books, including An Indigenous Peoples' History 
 of the United States, Red Dirt: Growing Up Okie, Roots of Resistance: A 
 History of Land Tenure in New Mexico, and Blood on the Border: A Memoir of 
 the Contra War. She is the recipient of the Cultural Freedom Prize for 
 Lifetime Achievement by the Lannan Foundation, and she lives in San 
 Francisco, CA.\n\nTHIS EVENT IS FREE & ALL ARE WELCOME\n
