DESCRIPTION:Join Jean Pfaelzer for the reading and discussion of her book 
 "California\, A Slave State" with Damian Pargas (Professor of the History 
 and Culture of North America)\, moderated by Luvena Kopp (PhD Researcher a
 t BCDSS).\n"California\, A Slave State" breaks with the common perception 
 of California as a place of endless sunshine\, long coastlines\, and rich 
 harvests. It does so by exposing the multifold ways in which different for
 ms of slavery and dependency were – and continue to be – constitutive 
 of a state that is one of the largest economies in the world. In an access
 ible and poetic language that neither simplifies nor euphemizes this histo
 ry and its brutality\, Pfaelzer uncovers the co-existence of traditional a
 nd new systems of bondage in a land shaped by the genocide\, indenture\, a
 nd rape of Native Americans\, the coerced labor of captive Alaska Natives\
 , African American enslaved labor\, the prostitution of Chinese girls\, th
 e unpaid labor of convicts\, and ecological exploitation.
