 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/community-as-rebellion-surviving-academia-as-a-woman-of-color-tickets-300924281627\n\n\nJoin 
 us for the launch of the new book, "Community as Rebellion: A Syllabus for 
 Surviving Academia as a Woman of Color", by Latinx Studies scholar Lorgia 
 García Peña in conversation with Angela Y. Davis and Chandra Talpade 
 Mohanty.\n\nWeaving personal narrative with political analysis, Community 
 as Rebellion offers a meditation on creating liberatory spaces for students 
 and faculty of color within academia. Much like other women scholars of 
 color, Lorgia García Peña has struggled against the colonizing, 
 racializing, classist, and unequal structures that perpetuate systemic 
 violence within universities.\n\nAngela Y. Davis regards Community as 
 Rebellion as “a life-saving and life-affirming text, it offers us the 
 trenchant analysis and fearless strategy radical scholar-activists have 
 long needed.”\n\nYou can preorder "Community as Rebellion" here:
