Cha Cha Cha!

Here's a picture from our last "meeting" on January 13, 2007.

For February: Covering by Kenji Yoshino

Happy New Year!

Cha Cha Cha in the Mission was a lot of fun, despite the best efforts of the staff to be inconsiderate and inhospitable.

Brian's pick for February is Covering: The Hidden Assault on Our Civil Rights by Yale Law professor Kenji Yoshino. It's one of the shorter works we've read thus far, but if you still don't have time, you can download a short guest lecture he gave at the Georgetown University Law Center that addresses most of his points. The link to the podcast on iTunes is here.

We're meeting at Yoko's (a.k.a "the 'hood") this time. Flak jackets optional (we'll explain at the next meeting).

Can you believe it's almost 2007?

For October 2006: Palace Walk by Naguib Mafouz

Thanks to Sumi for the yummy dinner tonight!

The next book, selected by Yoko, is Palace Walk by Naguib Mafouz.

I am sure Terry Gross interviewed him at some point, so we'll have to find it on NPR's website.
