Colombia

Civilization and violence are not necessarily the antagonists we 
presume  with civilization taming violence, and violence unmaking 
civilization. Rojas develops a new way of understanding not just the 
history of Colombia, but also broader narratives of civilization.
March 21st is International Day Against Racism.  Part of defeating racism 
is education.  Come & learn more with us.
Wine & cheese will be served.
