SUMMARY:How to Sell a Genocide: The Media's Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza
DESCRIPTION:Citations Needed co-host Adam Johnson will be in joined in conversation with Nashwa Bawab to discuss Johnson’s new book\, How to Sell a Genocide: The Media’s Complicity in the Destruction of Gaza (Pluto Press\, April 2026) \n\n      \n        \n      \n    \nAbout the Book\nHow to Sell a Genocide is a thorough indictment of US corporate media’s role in enabling—and\, at times\, directly inciting—one of the most devastating campaigns of mass killing in modern memory. Johnson unpacks how major news outlets like The New York Times\, CNN\, and MSNBC systematically sanitized Israel’s war crimes\, hid the US’s central role\, and dehumanized the Palestinian people. \nDrawing from deep\, original data-driven analysis\, Johnson dissects the mechanics of propaganda\, from the selective empathy\, strategic omissions\, overt racism and repetition of state-sanctioned falsehoods\, to the demonization of humanitarian workers and dishonest coverage of campus protests. With clarity and moral force\, Johnson argues that the genocide could not have been sustained without the active\, sustained complicity of the US media. \nSpeakers\nAdam Johnson is a media analyst and co-host of the podcast Citations Needed. His writing has been featured in The Nation\, In These Times\, The Intercept\, Los Angeles Times\, and San Francisco Chronicle. \nNashwa Bawab is the web producer at In These Times and a member of the Palestinian Youth Movement. \nThis event is sponsored by Haymarket Books\, Pluto Press and Pilsen Community Books. While all of our events are freely available\, we ask that those who are able make a solidarity donation in support of our important publishing and programming work.

SUMMARY:Chasing Freedom: Coming of Age at the End of Empire with Simukai Chigudu
DESCRIPTION:Join author Simukai Chigudu in conversation with Barbara Sostaita and Adam Goodman about his new book\, Chasing Freedom: Coming of Age at the End of Empire.  \n\n      \n        \n      \n    \nAbout the Book\nChasing Freedom is an exquisitely crafted memoir\, sweeping from Zimbabwe to Oxford\, that lays bare the violent\, enduring legacy of colonialism on both a country and a family. Simukai Chigudu grew up in the shadow of Africa’s struggles for liberation. As he navigates the tangled threads of personal and political history\, he is guided by one central question: What does it mean to be truly free?\n\nIn this gorgeous and atmospheric family memoir\, Chigudu embarks on a quest to understand how the trauma of decolonization has shaped not only his country\, but his very identity—as an African\, a migrant\, a Black man\, a doctor\, a scholar\, and a son. What he discovers is that colonization is a potent force that continues to upend lives and institutions. Chasing Freedom is an intimate reckoning with the ghosts of the past that haunt our politics and our psyches in ways we can’t always see. \n  \n**We ask all attendees wear masks in the event space during the program for the health and well-being of the speakers and other guests. We will have books for sale after the program. ** \nSpeakers:\nSimukai Chigudu is associate professor of African politics at the University of Oxford and fellow of St. Antony’s College.

Lowi First Book Award from the International and American Political Science Associations. He holds a DPhil in International Development from the University of Oxford\, for which he was awarded the Audrey Richards Prize 2018\, a biennial award from the African Studies Association UK for the best thesis on Africa. Before coming into academia\, he worked as a medical doctor in the NHS for three years. He was also one of the founding members of Rhodes Must Fall in Oxford\, and has become a leading voice in public debates on the cultural politics of colonialism and racism. Chasing Freedom is his first trade book. \nBarbara Sostaita is a writer and scholar living in Chicago. She is an assistant professor in Latin American and Latino Studies at the University of Illinois Chicago. Her first book\, Sanctuary Everywhere: The Fugitive Sacred in the Sonoran Desert\, is an ethnographic study of care practices on the migrant trail. \nAdam Goodman is a historian and an associate professor of Latin American and Latino Studies at the University of Illinois Chicago. He is the author of the award-winning book The Deportation Machine: America’s Long History of Expelling Immigrants. \n  \n\n\nThis event is sponsored by Haymarket Books.

SUMMARY:Films for a Changing World presents: Flying Lessons
DESCRIPTION:Join us Tuesday\, March 24th at 6 PM for a screening of Elizabeth Nichols’ 2024 documentary\, Flying Lessons. The film will be followed by a discussion led by ONE Northside and all proceeds will go towards supporting their work. \n\n      \n        \n      \n    \nAbout the Film\nElizabeth Nichols’ Flying Lessons is a beautiful ode to a New York City Lower East Side artist as well as to the larger “dying breed” that once roamed the streets of Alphabet City\, performing in its now extinct clubs. Importantly\, it’s also a call to end rampant gentrification and a love story between director and character all rolled into one. When their Lower East Side building comes under siege by a predatory landlord\, a young filmmaker and an aging punk artist forge an unlikely friendship. As the two women collaborate on a portrait of a creative life amidst NYC’s cultural crisis\, they discover what it means to be neighbors. \nAbout the Series\nHaymarket Books is proud to present the next installment in our community film series: Films for a Changing World. We envision this community film series to be a place for people to come together in community during this volatile political moment. In times like these\, our struggle to change the world can feel even more difficult to sustain and we hope these events will be a space to share a collective cultural experience and connect with one another. \nOrganizing Neighborhoods for Equality: Northside (ONE Northside) is a community organization resulting from the merger of Lakeview Action Coalition and Organization of the Northeast. Together\, ONE and LAC have a history of nearly 60 years of powerful and effective community organizing.

SUMMARY:Films for a Changing World presents: The Spies Among Us
DESCRIPTION:Join us Thursday\, February 19th at 6 PM for a screening of Jamie Coughlin Silverman and Gabriel Silverman’s 2025 documentary The Spies Among Us. The film will be followed by a discussion led by members of Lucy Parsons Labs. Proceeds from ticket sale donations will go towards supporting the work of Lucy Parsons Labs and refreshments will be served. \n\n      \n        \n      \n    \nAbout the Film\nThe Spies Among Us is a rare look into the inner workings of a data-driven surveillance state run by one of the most feared secret police forces the world has ever known – East Germany’s Stasi. A personal investigation into family secrets by Peter Keup\, a Stasi victim-turned-historian\, takes a turn when he contacts the men who ran the system. These are the first dialogues between Stasi officers and a victim ever recorded. Through these encounters a terrifying mosaic is built of the lengths people go to maintain power in a dictatorship\, as well as the indomitable human spirit that seeks truth and self-determination. \nAbout the Series\nHaymarket Books is proud to present the next installment in our community film series: Films for a Changing World. We envision this community film series to be a place for people to come together in community during this volatile political moment. In times like these\, our struggle to change the world can feel even more difficult to sustain and we hope these events will be a space to share a collective cultural experience and connect with one another. \nLucy Parsons Labs (LPL) organizes safer communities by challenging the systemic domination accelerated by by both public and private institutions. As technological advancements are increasingly used to exploit Black\, brown\, and low-income communities\, LPL will continue to provide expertise to the growing network of communities defending our rights. \n**We ask that all in-person attendees wear masks in the event space during the program for the health and well-being of all attendees**

SUMMARY:Engineered Conflict: Structural Violence and the Future of Black Life in Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Join David Omotoso Stovall and Tara Betts as the discuss Stovall’s latest book Engineered Conflict: Structural Violence and the Future of Black Life in Chicago. \n\n      \n        \n      \n    \nAbout the Book\nMarginalized communities often become understandably preoccupied with a city’s structured attempt to deem them disposable\, making it difficult to see people experiencing the same suffering as potential comrades in struggle. Enemies are manufactured as the result of continued displacement\, hyper-segregation\, and dispossession. Under these impossible circumstances people are often quicker to punch each other before they identify the enemy as white supremacy and capitalism\, creating a society where conflict is engineered. \nExamining the long fight of Black people in Chicago to claim their humanity and thrive in a city while facing school closings\, the destruction of public housing and oppressive law enforcement\, Stovall argues that marginalized communities face unique structural challenges while being blamed for interpersonal conflict and labeled “violent” and deemed disposable. With a novel approach to the question of how state-sanctioned violence and abandonment impacts low-income communities\, Engineered Conflict uses examples from Chicago’s recent history to shed light on the politics of disposability through housing instability\, criminalization\, and school closures. Looking at all three phenomena together allows readers to see how state policies designate some neighborhoods as unviable\, where disinvestment furthers a rationale to contain members of these communities. \nLooking at the many ways Black communities have resisted state violence and the work of local organizations to address marginalization\, Engineered Conflict calls for a powerful movement against the displacement\, disinvestment\, and disposability of Chicago’s Black population. \n**We strongly encourage all attendees wear masks in the event space during the program for the health and well-being of the speaker and other guests. We will have a reception afterwards with light refreshments and books available for purchase.** \nSpeakers:\nDavid Omotoso Stovall is a professor in the Department of Black Studies and Criminology\, Law & Justice at the University of Illinois at Chicago and the author of Born Out of Struggle: Critical Race Theory\, School Creation and the Politics of Interruption. \nTara Betts is the author of Refuse to Disappear\, Break the Habit\, and Arc & Hue. She is a professor in the Peace\, Conflict Studies\, and Social Justice program at DePaul University and part of the faculty at the Solstice MFA program at Lasell University. Her poems have appeared in numerous journals and anthologies\, including This is the Honey\, Choice Words\, and The Overturning. Her short stories and essays have also appeared in numerous publications\, including Octavia’s Brood\, Red Line: Chicago Horror Stories\, The Whiskey of Our Discontent\, and The Breakbeat Poets.

SUMMARY:What We Saw in Chicago: Lessons from the CBP Surge
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with local organizers about how our community pushed back against attacks on our neighbors from federal border patrol agents last fall.\n\n\n      \n        \n      \n    \nAbout the Event\nOver the course of several months\, more than 250 Border Patrol agents were flown into Illinois to assist ICE in carrying out warrantless arrests and racially targeted sweeps. Community organizations documented at least 615 people who were unlawfully detained — a number expected to grow as additional cases are reviewed. \nAlthough this particular surge force has since left Illinois\, federal officials have made it clear that similar operations are likely to return. That makes it essential to take stock of what happened here\, how our communities responded in real time\, and what it means for the months ahead. \n**We ask all attendees wear masks in the event space during the program for the health and well-being of the speakers and other guests.** \nSpeakers:\nSpeakers include Rey Wences from Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR)\, Antonio Gutierrez from Organized Communities Against Deportations (OCAD) and Illinois State Senator Celina Senator Villanueva\, with a special poetry reading from Juliet DeJesus Alejandre. \nThis event is cosponsored by ICIRR\, OCAD and Haymarket Books.

DESCRIPTION:Join Jeff Schuhrke\, Sarah Lazare\, Nesreen Hasan in conversation about Schuhrke latest book No Neutrals There: US Labor\, Zionism\, and the Struggle for Palestine. \nGet Tickets\nAbout the Book\nUS trade unionists are often told to keep quiet and remain neutral on Palestine because “Palestine has nothing to do with unions” and “weighing in” only distracts from struggles for better working conditions. \nNo Neutrals There: US Labor\, Zionism\, and the Struggle for Palestineis a book that convincingly demonstrates that unions in the United States have never been silent or neutral on the question of Palestine. In fact\, they have played a key role—in the initial Zionist colonization of Palestine\, the foundation of the Israeli state in 1948\, supporting US foreign policy commitments to Israel\, and the ongoing suppression of the Palestinian liberation movement. \nSchuhrke conclusively shows that US unions helped build and maintain the state of Israel\, and also shines a light on important exceptions to this rule: instances of US labor solidarity with the Palestinian freedom struggle that point the way forward for today’s labor movement. \n***This in person event will be live-streamed through Haymarket Books. Register through Ticket Tailor to receive a link to the video conference on the day of the event. We ask that all in-person attendees wear masks in the event space during the program for the health and well-being of the speaker and other guests.
