Some of Our Recent Books

No event found!

Our Mission:

To read, study and discuss politics and

current events, and books about U.S. politics.

We meet every third week, and from 6:30 PM to 8:00, we discuss current events and politics, and from 8:00 to 9:00 we discuss our book. Discussion questions with suggested readings are provided for the first section of our meetings and an in depth Study Guide is provided for our book discussion.

Here is a schedule of upcoming meetings and the books we will discuss:

3/24 Caste, The Origins of Our Discontents, by Isabel Wilkerson (Part 2)

A Typical Political Book Club Meeting

Before each meeting participants will be emailed with thought-provoking questions and readings to focus and stimulate our discussions. A study guide will also be provided for enriching our book discussion.

The current events and political issues will be discussed for the first 90 minutes followed by a 1 hour discussion about our book.

Although we expect participants to have read the questions and suggested readings for the political discussion, as well as completing the book, YOU ARE STILL WELCOME to attend without completing the book or the readings.

Book cover images:

The images of book cover(s), and the copyright for them is most likely owned either by the artist who created the cover(s) or the publisher of the book(s). It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of book covers used for visual identification only in the context of critical commentary of that item on this website hosted on servers in the United Kingdom by the non-profit Democrats Abroad UK, qualifies as fair use under the copyright law of the United Kingdom.
