Diaspora

[close] Un círculo literario. A reading community built around Latin American literature, Afro-Latino voices, and really good cold brew. We meet at the booth, in the newsletter, and whenever the book is good enough to demand a conversation. Curated reads. Honest discussions. Coffee that knows where it came from. Ni de aquí ni de allá — but always at the table.

[close] For the Global Progeny of the Calabrian Diaspora and All with interest in learning, sharing, and preserving the languages, dialects, folklore, histories, and literature of or concerning the Calabrese, and Calabria.

[close] The Chai Circle is a book club in the Santa Cruz/Monterey/San Jose area that seeks to expand notions about Islam, Middle East and the Muslim experience. We intend to explore religion, culture, colonialism, war, gender, societal taboos and the diasporatic experience through ancient and contemporary Islamic/Middle Eastern voices. The group will select a book for the month and meet at a coffee shop or group member's home for the discussions. The Chai Circle is open to everyone, irrespective of religious and political affiliations; feel free to invite your friends. We want to form a loyal group of members, so make sure to invite friends who have a serious interest in participating in the club. Join us if you share our love of books and would like to engage in conversation about Islamic literature in a safe, relaxed environment.

[close] Reading and sharing bookshelves full of POC Australian writers.
