I’m honored to be participating in this upcoming event, speaking on Magonismo in the context of the Mexican Revolution and its legacy. See the full post on Philly ABC’s site for info on how to attend in person or remotely. Hope to see you there!

Join us at 3:30pm ET on Sunday, January 28th at Iffy Books for the premier release of freshly published The Blue Agave Revolution: Poetry of the Blind Rebel. Collaboratively written by indigenous anarchist political prisoner Oso Blanco and Michael Novick, The Blue Agave Revolution is a joint work of speculative/magical realist fiction containing tales of the Mexican Revolution, analyses of contemporary Indigenous struggle, engagement with the work of other political prisoners including Leonard Peltier, Mumia Abu-Jamal, and Jessica Reznicek, art, poetry, and meditations about what struggles for freedom may look like in the future.

After introducing the book and hearing a piece from Oso Blanco himself, we’ll jump into a multimedia program on contemporary aspects of the Zapatista movement and other topics related to Oso Blanco’s wholehearted connections to indigenous autonomy in Turtle Island. We will be joined by author and journalist Scott Campbell to shed light on the role of Magonismo in the early Mexican revolution.

$20 suggested donation (includes a copy of the book). No one turned away for lack of funds, and cash donations are welcome too.

Remote participation is welcome! If you can’t make it in person, we’ll ship it to you so you can follow along.

Don’t need a personal copy of the book, but want to support Oso Blanco’s work? donate and have your copy shipped ot a prisoner of your choosing or just write ‘donate to prisoner’ in the address field and we’ll select a recipient for you.
