DESCRIPTION:The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) once sought to portray itself as a 
 defender of civil rights aligned with racial justice movements in the 
 United States. In a groundbreaking study that Publishers Weekly describes 
 as a "gutsy, razor-sharp demystification of a powerful organization," 
 Emmaia Gelman exposes the ADL’s alliance with American white supremacy 
 and western empire and its historic investment in Cold War anticommunism. 
 Her definitive account shows how the ADL as a Zionist organization has 
 advanced and supported pro-state policing, a hate-crimes framework that 
 obscures racialized structures of power, and a “War on Terror” that has 
 stoked anti-Palestinian racism and Islamophobia. \n\nAuthor Bio: Emmaia 
 Gelman is the founding Director of the Institute for the Critical Study of 
 Zionism. She has taught social and cultural analysis at NYU and social 
 sciences at Sarah Lawrence College. Her writing appears in Jewish Currents, 
 Boston Review, The Forward, and elsewhere.\n\nCosponsored by the Center for 
 Racial Justice (CRJ), Resource Center for Nonviolence, Jewish Voice for 
 Peace–South Bay, Santa Cruz Jews for a Free Palestine, Students for 
 Justice in Palestine Santa Cruz, Faculty for Justice in Palestine at UC 
 Santa Cruz, UC Faculty and Staff for Justice in Palestine, the Ethnic 
 Studies Council at the University of California, and the Institute for the 
 Critical Study of Zionism, this event, which is part of a California tour, 
 is free and open to the public. Registration is encouraged but not 
 required.\n\nRegister here:
