Common Read: The End of Myth

Looking for a good book to read this summer? Concerned about the structural barriers to peace like empire, capitalism, white supremacy, and colonialism? Would you like to discuss these issues with friends, then meet the author? Sign up to join the Common Read!

Sponsored by Mass Peace Action, the Common Read will read The End of the Myth, by Greg Grandin. In this work Grandin explores the effect that constant expansion has had on the the politics of the United States, from the Colonial period up to today. Now that the frontier is shut, racism and nationalism, anger and polarization have come home, catapulting Trump to the presidency and dividing the nation.

Watertown Citizens is organizing a reading group, with the first meeting expected in late June. If you’d like to join us, click here to send an email to . Or sign up on the Mass Peace Action google form.
