Writers, poets, philosophers, and artists have written theories and created beautiful worlds that inspire us to live differently. Throughout the history of patriarchal racial capitalism, there have been stories that allude to a different way of being. In VOL’s monthly reading groups, we explore some of these histories and stories in community.

VOL’s March reading group will be an engaging discussion of A History of the World in Seven Cheap Things by Raj Patel and Jason W. Moore. This thought-provoking book examines the ways in which the modern world has been shaped by the exploitation of seven essential resources - nature, money, work, care, food, energy, and lives. Join us for an engaging discussion that connects the past to the possibilities of existing differently.
