In July we will read A Day in the Life of Abed Salama: Anatomy of a Jerusalem Tragedy by Nathan Thrall. The book won a Pulitzer prize for general non-fiction. This is a timely read as it deals with the struggles of those living in Israel/Palestine.

Contact me for the Zoom link if you want to come that way.

​Read more about the book at Goodreads: 


"Immersive and gripping, an intimate story of a deadly accident outside Jerusalem that unravels a tangle of lives, loves, enmities, and histories over the course of one revealing, heartbreaking day."


"Five-year-old Milad Salama is excited for a school trip to a theme park on the outskirts of Jerusalem. On the way, his bus collides with a semitrailer. His father, Abed, gets word of the crash and rushes to the site. The scene is chaos—the children have been taken to different hospitals in Jerusalem and the West Bank; some are missing, others cannot be identified. Abed sets off on an odyssey to learn Milad’s fate. It is every parent’s worst nightmare, but for Abed it is compounded by the maze of physical, emotional, and bureaucratic obstacles he must navigate because he is Palestinian. He is on the wrong side of the separation wall, holds the wrong ID to pass the military checkpoints, and has the wrong papers to enter the city of Jerusalem. Abed’s quest to find Milad is interwoven with the stories of a cast of Jewish and Palestinian characters whose lives and histories unexpectedly converge."

"In A Day in the Life of Abed Salama, Nathan Thrall—hailed for his “severe allergy to conventional wisdom” (Time)—offers an indelibly human portrait of the struggle over Israel/Palestine and a new understanding of the tragic history and reality of one of the most contested places on earth."

PACG Book Club

In June we will read and discuss Just Mercy by Bryan Stephenson. Stephenson started a law office in Montgomery, Alabama as a young lawyer to defend the poor, victims of mass incarceration, and especially those on death row, including a Black man clearly framed for murder. He is the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative.

There is also a movie, Just Mercy, based on Bryan Stephenson's memoir. Learn more both about the book and the movie at the Equal Justice Initiative website.

Here is more about Just Mercy from Goodreads:


"An unforgettable true story about the potential for mercy to redeem us, and a clarion call to end mass incarceration in America — from one of the most inspiring lawyers of our time."

"Bryan Stevenson was a young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a nonprofit law office in Montgomery, Alabama, dedicated to defending the poor, the incarcerated, and the wrongly condemned."

"Just Mercy tells the story of EJI, from the early days with a small staff facing the nation’s highest death sentencing and execution rates, through a successful campaign to challenge the cruel practice of sentencing children to die in prison, to revolutionary projects designed to confront Americans with our history of racial injustice."

"One of EJI’s first clients was Walter McMillian, a young Black man who was sentenced to die for the murder of a young white woman that he didn’t commit. The case exemplifies how the death penalty in America is a direct descendant of lynching — a system that treats the rich and guilty better than the poor and innocent."

PACG Book Club

In May we will read and discuss Concrete Rose by Angie Thomas, the author of The Hate U Give. In November of 2018 we discussed The Hate U Give and saw the movie. The events in Concrete Rose are set 17 years prior and talk about the same family, with more focus on what life in that neighborhood was like for Black boys and men. I read this book for the Project Now book club. It is an interesting and fairly quick read and I really enjoyed it.

If you want to get a head start on the June book, it is Just Mercy by Bryan Stephenson. Learn more at the Equal Justice Initiative website or at this PACG blog post.

If you want to come on Zoom, contact me for the link.

​Alta Price (she/her)


Here is more about Concrete Rose from Goodreads:


"International phenomenon Angie Thomas revisits Garden Heights seventeen years before the events of The Hate U Give in this searing and poignant exploration of Black boyhood and manhood."

"If there’s one thing seventeen-year-old Maverick Carter knows, it’s that a real man takes care of his family. As the son of a former gang legend, Mav does that the only way he knows how: dealing for the King Lords. With this money he can help his mom, who works two jobs while his dad’s in prison."

"Life’s not perfect, but with a fly girlfriend and a cousin who always has his back, Mav’s got everything under control."

"Until, that is, Maverick finds out he’s a father."

"Suddenly he has a baby, Seven, who depends on him for everything. But it’s not so easy to sling dope, finish school, and raise a child. So when he’s offered the chance to go straight, he takes it. In a world where he’s expected to amount to nothing, maybe Mav can prove he’s different."

"When King Lord blood runs through your veins, though, you can't just walk away. Loyalty, revenge, and responsibility threaten to tear Mav apart, especially after the brutal murder of a loved one. He’ll have to figure out for himself what it really means to be a man."

PACG Book Club


Our April book is Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America's Food Industry by Austin Frerick. The author is a 7th generation Iowan and has had a lot of good reviews. This was the first book of J.D. Scholten's book club, and he also interviewed the author. Scholten writes You're Probably Getting Screwed on Substack. His interview with the author is here.

If you want to come on Zoom, contact me for the link.

​Alta Price


Here is more about the book from Goodreads:

"Barons is the story of seven corporate titans, their rise to power, and the consequences for everyone else. Take Mike McCloskey, Chairman of Fair Oaks Farms. In a few short decades, he went from managing a modest dairy herd to running the Disneyland of agriculture, where school children ride trams through mechanized warehouses filled with tens of thousands of cows that never see the light of day. What was the key to his success? Hard work and exceptional business savvy? Maybe. But more than anything else, Mike benefitted from deregulation of the American food industry, a phenomenon that has consolidated wealth in the hands of select tycoons, and along the way, hollowed out the nation’s rural towns and local businesses."

"Along with Mike McCloskey, readers will meet a secretive German family that took over the global coffee industry in less than a decade, relying on wealth traced back to the Nazis to gobble up countless independent roasters. They will discover how a small grain business transformed itself into an empire bigger than Koch Industries, with ample help from taxpayer dollars. And they will learn that in the food business, crime really does pay—especially when you can bribe and then double-cross the president of Brazil."

"These, and the other stories in this book, are simply examples of the monopolies and ubiquitous corruption that today define American food. The tycoons profiled in these pages are hardly unique: many other companies have manipulated our lax laws and failed policies for their own benefit, to the detriment of our neighborhoods, livelihoods, and our democracy itself. Barons paints a stark portrait of the consequences of corporate consolidation, but it also shows we can choose a different path. A fair, healthy, and prosperous food industry is possible—if we take back power from the barons who have robbed us of it."

PACG Book Club - Lightning Men (Darktown #2) by
​  Thomas Mullen
Monday, March 17th at 5:15 pm - Zoom only

No meeting in February!

We will continue to meet via Zoom in March, but will go back to in person meetings in April. For March we will read and discuss the second book in the Darktown series by Thomas Mullen, Lightning Men. 

For those wanting to get a head start, the April book is Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America's Food Industry by Austin Frerich. The author is a 7th generation Iowan and the book was recommended by J.D. Scholten. Read more about it at this PACG blog post.

Contact me for the Zoom link to the March meeting.


Alta Price (she/her)

Here is more about Lightning Men from Goodreads:

"From the acclaimed author of The Last Town on Earth comes the gripping follow-up to Darktown, a “combustible procedural that will knock the wind out of you” (The New York Times)."

"Officer Denny Rakestraw, “Negro Officers” Lucius Boggs and Tommy Smith, and Sergeant McInnis have their hands full in an overcrowded and rapidly changing Atlanta. It’s 1950 and color lines are shifting and racial tensions are simmering. Black families—including Smith’s sister and brother-in-law—are moving into Rake’s formerly all-white neighborhood, leading some residents to raise money to buy them out, while others advocate a more violent solution. Rake’s brother-in-law, Dale, a proud Klansman, launches a scheme to rally his fellow Kluxers to save their neighborhood. When those efforts spiral out of control and leave a man dead, Rake is forced to choose between loyalty to family or the law."

"He isn’t the only one with family troubles. Boggs has outraged his preacher father by courting a domestic, and now her ex-boyfriend has been released from prison. As Boggs, Smith, and their all-black precinct contend with violent drug dealers fighting for turf in new territory, their personal dramas draw them closer to the fires that threaten to consume Atlanta once again."

PACG Book Club - "How the West Brought War to Ukraine", January 2025

PACG Book Club - How the West Brought War to Ukraine by Benjamin Abelow
Monday, January 20th at 5:15 pm - Zoom only

Picture
In January we will meet via Zoom to discuss How the West Brought War to Ukraine: Understanding How U.S. and NATO Policies Led to Crisis, War and the Risk of Nuclear Catastrophe by Benjamin Abelow. The book is short, so you should be able to get it read over the holidays. In my experience, anytime the U.S. is involved in a war, you can't believe half of what you read about the conflict. This book (I haven't read it yet) may present a different view than the standard U.S. position and therefore should lead to an interesting discussion.

Just a heads up for February. Since I'll be out of the country, we may not have a February discussion. We'll let you know later.

Contact me for the Zoom link.

Alta Price (she/her)

Here is more information from Goodreads:


"According to the mainstream Western narrative, Vladimir Putin is an insatiable, Hitler-like expansionist who invaded Ukraine in an unprovoked land grab."

"That story is incorrect."

"In reality, the United States and NATO bear much of the responsibility for the Ukraine crisis. Through a series of misguided policies, Washington and its European allies placed Russia in an untenable situation for which war seemed, to Mr. Putin and his military staff, the only workable solution."

In How the West Brought War to Ukraine, author Benjamin Abelow lays out the relevant history and explains how the West needlessly produced conflict, subjecting its own citizens—and the rest of the world—to the risk of nuclear war.

"Endorsed by leading defense experts and policy analysts, this brief and highly readable book shows how the West provoked the crisis and now labors under an existential threat of its own making."

"How the West Brought War to Ukraine looks beneath the surface of recent events. It lets readers understand the deeper sources of the Ukraine war and provides new insights into how the conflict might be resolved."

"If you'd like to hear the author respond to the claims that the Ukraine war is a "humanitarian" venture and that Ukraine has the "right" to join NATO, go to the Author's page. There you will find two short video clips (two minutes each).To get to that page, click on the author's photo beneath the cover image of the book (this may not be an option from mobile devices)."

For October we will read and discuss Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement and Paramilitary America by Kathleen Belew. In December of 2020, PACG was a cosponsor of a webinar organized by One Human Family featuring Dr. Belew and her work on the White Power movement. Here is an after-action report about that event. I didn't get the book read back then, and it seems even more pertinent today!

Contact me for the Zoom link if you want to come that way.

Alta Price

Here is more information about Bring the War Home from Goodreads:


The white power movement in America wants a revolution. Its soldiers are not lone wolves but highly organized cadres motivated by a coherent and deeply troubling worldview made up of white supremacy, virulent anticommunism, and apocalyptic faith. In Bring the War Home, Kathleen Belew gives us the history of a movement that consolidated in the 1970s and 1980s around a potent sense of betrayal in the Vietnam War and made tragic headlines in Waco and Ruby Ridge and with the Oklahoma City bombing and is resurgent under President Trump.

Returning to an America ripped apart by a war they felt they were not allowed to win, a small group of veterans and active-duty military personnel and civilian supporters concluded that waging war on their own country was justified. They unified people from a variety of militant groups, including Klansmen, neo-Nazis, skinheads, radical tax protestors, and white separatists to form a new movement of loosely affiliated independent cells to avoid detection. The white power movement operated with discipline and clarity, undertaking assassinations, armed robbery, counterfeiting, and weapons trafficking. Its command structure gave women a prominent place and put them in charge of brokering alliances and birthing future recruits.

Belew's disturbing and timely history reminds us that war cannot be contained in time and space: grievances intensify and violence becomes a logical course of action. Based on years of deep immersion in previously classified FBI files and on extensive interviews, 
Bring the War Home tells the story of American paramilitarism and the birth of the alt-right.

For September we will read and discuss James: A Novel by Percival Everett. This is a retelling of the story of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the point of view of Jim. I've read it and found it to be a real page-turner! You might want to take the opportunity to read Huckleberry Finn again.

Contact me for the Zoom link if you want to come that way.

Our October book will be Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement and Paramilitary America by Kathleen Belew. Read more at this PACG Blog post.

Alta Price

Here is more information about James: A Novel from Goodreads:


A brilliant, action-packed reimagining of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, both harrowing and ferociously funny, told from the enslaved Jim's point of view.

When the enslaved Jim overhears that he is about to be sold to a man in New Orleans, separated from his wife and daughter forever, he decides to hide on nearby Jackson Island until he can formulate a plan. Meanwhile, Huck Finn has faked his own death to escape his violent father, recently returned to town. As all readers of American literature know, thus begins the dangerous and transcendent journey by raft down the Mississippi River toward the elusive and too-often-unreliable promise of the Free States and beyond.

While many narrative set pieces of
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn remain in place (floods and storms, stumbling across both unexpected death and unexpected treasure in the myriad stopping points along the river’s banks, encountering the scam artists posing as the Duke and Dauphin…), Jim’s agency, intelligence and compassion are shown in a radically new light.

For June we will read and discuss Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks. Although we should be reading a non-fiction book this month, due to the short notice we decided a novel of reasonable length might be better! This story, set in the 1660's, features Caleb, the first Native American to graduate from Harvard College. We've read many books this year with Native American characters or themes, so we thought this would be a good Geraldine Brooks novel to read.

Contact me for the Zoom link if you want to come that way.

There will be no PACG Book Club meetings in July or August. We'll let you know after the June discussion what we will read for September.

Alta Price

Here is more information from Goodreads: 

Once again, Geraldine Brooks takes a remarkable shard of history and brings it to vivid life. In 1665, a young man from Martha's Vineyard became the first Native American to graduate from Harvard College. Upon this slender factual scaffold, Brooks has created a luminous tale of love and faith, magic and adventure.

The narrator of "Caleb's Crossing" is Bethia Mayfield, growing up in the tiny settlement of Great Harbor amid a small band of pioneers and Puritans. Restless and curious, she yearns after an education that is closed to her by her sex. As often as she can, she slips away to explore the island's glistening beaches and observe its native Wampanoag inhabitants. At twelve, she encounters Caleb, the young son of a chieftain, and the two forge a tentative secret friendship that draws each into the alien world of the other. Bethia's minister father tries to convert the Wampanoag, awakening the wrath of the tribe's shaman, against whose magic he must test his own beliefs. One of his projects becomes the education of Caleb, and a year later, Caleb is in Cambridge, studying Latin and Greek among the colonial elite. There, Bethia finds herself reluctantly indentured as a housekeeper and can closely observe Caleb's crossing of cultures.

Like Brooks's beloved narrator Anna in "
Year of Wonders", Bethia proves an emotionally irresistible guide to the wilds of Martha's Vineyard and the intimate spaces of the human heart. Evocative and utterly absorbing, "Caleb's Crossing" further establishes Brooks's place as one of our most acclaimed novelists.
