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.

THE IRON WALL
Date: 
September 7, 2010 - 7:00pm - 9:00pm

Mohammed Alatar’s The Iron Wall takes its name from a 1923 essay by the revisionist Zionist leader Vladimir Jabotinsky, who counseled that the European Jewish colonial project in Palestine could succeed “only under the protection of a power that is independent of the native population—behind an IRON WALL, which the native population cannot breach.”  The film documents the history and growth of Israel’s illegal colonies in the Occupied Territories, and reveals how Israel’s construction of its Separation Wall helps secure the settlements as permanent and irreversible facts on the ground.  The film warns of the effect of these settlements on the possibility of peace and the future of the region.All showings will be held at Black Sheep Books, 5 State Street, Montpelier. Our facilities are limited, i.e. no bathroom - sorry. BYO-Popcorn.
