ABOUT US

Black Sheep Books, a community space and bookstore in Montpelier, Vermont, offers affordable radical and scholarly books, and hosts educational events on cultural and political topics. As an all-volunteer project, we are operated by a five-member collective hand in hand with a group of dedicated volunteers. Our principle focus is to provide access to anti-authoritarian Left ideas in a way that promotes intellectual debate and challenges today’s hegemonic culture.

We see print media and public talks as necessary for the development of critical consciousness and ultimately social change. Such engagement with the transformative power of ideas connects us to each other, helps us to understand our historical context, and guides us in action. This linking of past to present, theory to practice, is a crucial precondition for the emergence of a free and directly democratic society.

By creating this space in public, we strive to contest the depoliticization and alienation rampant under statist and capitalist social relations. We also aim to generate visibility for identities marginalized by normative values and systems of domination through providing community resources and a welcoming space in the context of our rural location.

Together with horizontalist social movements and political projects, bookstores, infoshops, and publishers, Black Sheep Books works toward an egalitarian, ecological, and nonhierarchical society.

Talk by Kim Keyser

Kim is an activist from the nascent anarchist movement in Norway, the so-called "social democratic paradise" in northern Europe. This summer he's touring the United States to try to answer the question, "How can we reflect the future we want, in our present work?" The talk will touch on subjects such as direct democracy, direct action, workers councils, anarchist organizing, and involvement in social movements.

A complementing pamphlet called "The Prefigurative Organization," written specifically for this speaking tour, will be available.

Talk by Natalia Fajardo

In 2000, the peaceful community of Promision in
Colombia fell victim to a war created by social
inequality, and now fueled by U.S tax dollars and drug
money. Displaced by paramilitaries, these farmers
moved to the slums of Medellin. Eight years later,
they are returning to their raided land to start their
lives over. Come learn about their stories, struggles,
and how you can be part of their efforts to reclaim
their dignity.

Free! All welcome!
at the Langdon Street Cafe, 4 Langdon St., Montpelier
