The perfect gift—in any amount—with that personal touch of classic old world charm.
Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. A senior fellow at Demos—a non-partisan, national think tank—Rich Benjamin between 2007 and 2009 undertook a journey of over 26,000 miles—all within the U.S. His particular intention was to look at enclaves where white people were settled in or moving to, determined to be among their 'own kind.' In Searching for Whitopia: An Improbable Journey to the Heart of White America (Hyperion), he went to Idaho, Georgia, Utah, and elsewhere—this as the U.S. was moving to elect Barack Obama as president. "A journey through the whitest communities of America that is bound to be thought-provoking, especially when the voyager is articulate and observant as Rich Benjamin. A very entertaining read with a message worth pondering." - Robert D. Putnam. "Benjamin goes where no (sane) black man has gone before—into the palest enclaves, like Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to those places where white Americans have fled to escape the challenges of diversity." - Barbara Ehrenreich. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m. or via www.brownpapertickets (and 1-800-838-3006). Preferred seating for Town Hall members. Town Hall Seattle is located at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca).
