SUMMARY:History Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We are going to conclude our discussion of the book\, In the Time of Madness: Indonesia on the Edge of Chaos\, by journalist Richard Lloyd Parry. This is a book about the struggles of a third world country of hundreds of ethnic groups and languages spread over thousands of islands in an area on the globe of more than three million square miles\, trying to transition from a harsh dictatorship to a representative democracy. \nIn one corner of that vast country is East Timor\, a former Portuguese colony\, and it was here that the fear and violence the author talks about reached their peak. This is not a pleasant story for those of us in our comfortable homes and our well-established republic\, but it happened and we should not look away. But we will have the pleasant faces of the History Study Group for you to look at on the 3rd\, and that is more than reasonable compensation.

SUMMARY:Philosophy Study Group
DESCRIPTION:We will conclude our discussion of the book Beauty: A Very Short Introduction by Roger Scruton. In the last half of this book\, the author examines what is sometimes termed “serious art.” This is quite fitting for us\, since our meetings always involve what is sometimes termed “serious perlustration\,” sometimes with dialectic excurses.

SUMMARY:Racial Paradox of the Twin Cities
DESCRIPTION:Why has our famously liberal political culture been at the same time so brutally hard on minorities? Looking at wealth gaps\, incarceration\, life expectancy etc. we vie with Mississippi\, How to explain how the land of Humphry\, Mondale\, Wellstone\, Gene McCarthy has turned out to treat dark skinned people the way it has? \nAnswers date back to pre-Civil war days and have much to do with Swedes\, Germans and Irish immigrants as well as Indian removal and the “great migration” of Black people from the South. \nJames Brewer Stewart is a Professor of History Emeritus  at Macalester College\, author of books on abolitionists\, slavery\, and racism\, and Founder of Historians Against Slavery.
