“JAMES: A NOVEL”
League of Women Voters Book Club Final Discussion, Part III
The League of Women Voters of Whitewater Area’s Book Club is pleased to announce
the last of three discussions of the book James: A Novel by Percival Everett, on
Tuesday, April 29, starting at 6:30 PM. The discussion will be held at The Book Teller,
171 W Main Street, in Whitewater.
Fifteen individuals joined the LWV Whitewater Area’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Book Club last month for the second discussion of James: A Novel. WUSD High School
History teacher Greg Stewart led us through a thought-provoking discussion of life in
pre-Civil War America, including how this era has been portrayed in US school books.
It’s not too late to join us for the final discussion, to be led by UW-Whitewater
professor Dr. Tamara Lindsey. She will help us discern topics such as emancipation,
liberation, freedom, and social construction theory that arise in Everett’s conclusion to
his novel.
Join us at The Book Teller, 171 W Main Street on April 29, 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm for
another engrossing discussion. For questions or suggestions of books for future
discussion, please call Deb Gamble at 262-853-1946. The League invites all in the
Whitewater community to join us in our discussions.
