SUMMARY:In Defiance Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:Authors Tom Weiner and Dr. Amilcar Shabazz will be at the Clapp Memorial Library on Monday\, November 3 at 6:30pm to present on their new book\, In Defiance: 20 Abolitionists You Were Never Taught in School (April 2025\, Interlink Publishing). In Defiance uncovers the stories of individuals who risked their lives to fight enslavement\, serving as a compelling call for justice and the preservation of history. This book brings to light the often-suppressed stories of 20 Black and white men and women – their courage\, activism\, and unwavering commitment to freedom. \nAmid ongoing efforts to erase history\, these stories serve as a powerful corrective—meant to challenge\, inspire\, and ignite action. Co-authored by Tom Weiner\, a Northampton-based writer\, educator\, and anti-racist activist\, and Dr. Amilcar Shabazz\, professor and former president of the National Council for Black Studies\, the book weaves their perspectives into the narrative\, emphasizing the importance of learning from the past. For fans of The New Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander and The Color of Abolition by Linda Hirshman\, In Defiance is both a testament to those who fought for justice and an inspiration for those who continue the struggle today. \nIf you would like to place a hold for In Defiance to read on your own\, you can ask the circulation desk or visit the catalog here.
