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.

Black Sheep Books is an all-volunteer, collectively run project specializing in radical and scholarly used books.

OCCUPATION 101: VOICES OF THE SILENCED MAJORITY
Date: 
August 3, 2010 - 7:00pm - 9:00pm

A thought-provoking and powerful film, Occupation 101 examines the current and historical causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and dispels many long-perceived myths and misconceptions.  Produced and directed by Libyan brothers Sufyan and Abdallah Omeish, the film combines contemporary and archival video footage with commentaries from leading Middle East scholars, peace activists, journalists, religious leaders and humanitarian workers. It is one of the finest documentaries on the question of Palestine.   Black Sheep Books presents Three Award-Winning Documentary Films on Occupied PalestineRecent attempts to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza have highlighted the intense repression faced by Palestinians every day as well as the political complexity of the region. Black Sheep Books - with support from Vermonters for a Just Peace in Palestine/Israel - will present three films in the coming weeks with the aim to inform and create a space for discussion and possible action.  We hope you join us for one or all of the showings and add to the conversation.
