Format

• Reading 2-3 chapters a week (some are very short). I’m going to be shooting for 50-60 pages a week, give or take. I’m going to be getting page counts from the libgen ebook, so that’s why readings will be done by chapter.
• Hopefully we’ll be done in 7 or 8 weeks
• Feel free to get whatever copy you wish, I’ll also post the ebook onto Perusall for your convenience and highlighting.
• I’ll plan to post on Wednesday each week with the readings we’re discussing and our future schedule as I work it out. I’ll also @ mention anyone who posts in this thread in future weeks.

Resources

• Libgen link to ebook
• If you want to get a sense for what’s coming, here’s Bevins’ appearance on Trueanon, which is part of why I wanted to do this book club
• Perusall – if you want to flag passages for discussion, I’ll do my best to check this before I post my weekly post. If people wish, I can also make weekly assignments here, but I’ve opened up the whole book in one assignment so that people can read at their own pace.

A bit more on my motivations: I’m writing a paper on protest (and its failures) so I actually wanted to incorporate some of Bevins’ work. I’ll probably post some questions and thoughts of my own to get our discussion started here, along with anything anyone submits to the Perusall site.

I figure for our first meeting, we’ll do the Introduction and Chapter 1.

Post here if you’re interested in participating so I can @ you once we start I figure I’ll post the first discussion next week, as long as folks are ready for it. Otherwise, I’ll wait until the 17th.
