LAAC Book Club No. 15

Join the LAAC Book Club for a meeting on Wednesday, November 29 from 6:30-8 pm on the back patio at Stories Books and Cafe in Echo Park (1716 Sunset Blvd, 90026). Participants to the Book Club will be capped at 12. Please email hello@laacollective.org to reserve a spot. 

 

We will be getting into the development of modern historiography by reading Dust: The Archive and Cultural History by British historian Carolyn Steedman, setting a backdrop for discussion of more recent efforts guiding inclusive historical interpretation and community archive practices with some postmodern theory and semiotics thrown in. Hope to see you there!
