LWVNAZ- Political Book Club and Let’s Talk Politics @ Political Book Club

POLITICAL BOOK CLUB

PBC – The book for March 27th is Twilight of Democracy: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism by Anne Applebaum (June 2021, 224 pages) The Pulitzer Prize winning historian explains, with electrifying clarity, why elites in democracies around the world are turning toward nationalism and authoritarianism. Applebaum contends that political systems with radically simple beliefs are inherently appealing, especially when they benefit the loyal to the exclusion of everyone else.

The only requirement to join the book club discussion is that each participant has read the book. The standard format consists of each person giving a brief (1-2 minute) statement concerning the books overall impressions and implications. This segment is followed by group questions and discussions of the material. If you would like to join the book club, or want to submit the title of books you are interested in reading and discussing, or if you would like any other information about the book club, please contact [email protected]

LET”S TALK POLITICS

At 4:15 pm, those who have not read the book can join the group to share thoughts, concerns, insights, and predilections about current political and societal events. As one member stated, we can talk about “those issues which keep you awake at night”. Everyone has a chance to speak, while we all listen. Topics for discussion usually evolve from the group concerns. Whatever your political persuasion, you are welcome to join this accepting and respectful group.

Argentina 1985

Greetings film fans and happy 2023! DORR’s political film group is back after the winter holidays. Awards season is upon us once again, and we’re proposing Argentina 1985, the Golden Globe winner for Best Picture-non English film, as our next selection.

Inspired by the true story of the legal fight to prosecute Argentina’s military dictatorship in the 1980s, the film centers on the Trial of the Juntas, in which a civilian court tried former military leaders for brutal crimes committed while the country was under a right-wing dictatorship. The trial is the only example to date of a large-scale effort by a Latin American democratic government against its country’s former dictatorial government. Natalia Winkelman wrote in The New York Times, “Like a pair of old wingtips polished with wax, Argentina, 1985 spins a notable piece of history into an impassioned courtroom drama flecked with quaint humor.” Argentina 1985 is available on Amazon Prime. Join us to talk about what The Guardian called a “forthright, muscular and potent movie.”

We’ll send an invite to our zoom conversation a few days before February 10.

Let’s meet Friday February 10th from 5-6pm on Zoom. We look forward to a rich conversation about immigration, equity, economics, dreams, and wherever else the films lead us.

DORR’s political film club is hosted by Mik Jordahl (Attorney) and Frankie Riemer (Professor). To sign up, send an email to [email protected] and ask for the Zoom invitation. If you signed up for any of our previous films, your name is already on our list for the invite.

LWVNAZ- Political Book Club and Let’s Talk Politics @ Political Book Club
Mar 27 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm

POLITICAL BOOK CLUB

PBC – The book for March 27th is Twilight of Democracy: The Seductive Lure of Authoritarianism by Anne Applebaum (June 2021, 224 pages) The Pulitzer Prize winning historian explains, with electrifying clarity, why elites in democracies around the world are turning toward nationalism and authoritarianism. Applebaum contends that political systems with radically simple beliefs are inherently appealing, especially when they benefit the loyal to the exclusion of everyone else.

The only requirement to join the book club discussion is that each participant has read the book. The standard format consists of each person giving a brief (1-2 minute) statement concerning the books overall impressions and implications. This segment is followed by group questions and discussions of the material. If you would like to join the book club, or want to submit the title of books you are interested in reading and discussing, or if you would like any other information about the book club, please contact [email protected]

LET”S TALK POLITICS

At 4:15 pm, those who have not read the book can join the group to share thoughts, concerns, insights, and predilections about current political and societal events. As one member stated, we can talk about “those issues which keep you awake at night”. Everyone has a chance to speak, while we all listen. Topics for discussion usually evolve from the group concerns. Whatever your political persuasion, you are welcome to join this accepting and respectful group.
