Join us for a weekly book club reading "The Gaza Strip: The Economic De-Development” by Sara Roy!
We’ll be meeting at Central Market (North Lamar) 7pm on Tuesdays for nine weeks until 9/9!
The book is a deep-dive onto how life under occupation rendered Gaza unviable. A challenging but important read.
Please come prepared with the weekly reading done and any notes or points you’d like to discuss! Feel free to buy snacks or drinks at Central Market.
Meetings are typically outside on Central Market patio. We’ll move inside if weather is a problem though.
