Red Emma's

Red Emma's is pleased to welcome back activist-intellectual Ward Churchill, author of the influential Pacifism as Pathology, historian and critic of white settler colonialism, for what promises to be an interesting conversation! Churchill's last Baltimore appearance was just over a decade ago - in 2006 at the very first Mid-Atlantic Radical Bookfair - and much has changed since then. Join us as we delve deep into Churchill's broad, varied, and controversial body of work! 

Ward Churchill was, until moving to Atlanta in 2012, a member of the leadership council of Colorado AIM. A past national spokesperson for the Leonard Peltier Defense Committee and UN delegate for the International Indian Treaty Council, he is a life member of Vietnam Veterans Against the War and currently a member of the Council of Elders of the original Rainbow Coalition, founded by Chicago Black Panther leader Fred Hampton in 1969. Now retired, Churchill was professor of American Indian Studies and chair of the Department of Ethnic Studies until 2005, when he became the focus of a major academic freedom case. Among his two dozen books are the award-winning Agents of Repression (1988, 2002), Fantasies of the Master Race (1992, 1998), Struggle for the Land (1993, 2002), and On the Justice of Roosting Chickens (2003), as well as The COINTELPRO Papers (1990, 2002), A Little Matter of Genocide (1997), Acts of Rebellion (2003), and Kill the Indian, Save the Man (2004).
