    logo_literatelizardSedona AZ (June 28, 2017) – The Literate Lizard Bookstore is proud to host the national book launch for “Resistance: Reclaiming An American Tradition,” by award-winning journalist/historian Jeff Biggers.  This event will be held in the Si Birch Room of the Sedona Public Library, 3250 White Bear Road in West Sedona, from 3-5pm on Friday, July 6th.

    In this riveting narrative history, Biggers places today’s political battles within a long and vibrant continuum of American tradition, chronicling the arduous, courageous and often squabbling political movements, from the American Revolution to Standing Rock, that have always worked to renew, protect and strengthen our democracy.

    20180628_BiggersSedonadotBizEarly reviews for Resistance have been stellar. Author Sandra Steingraber says: “”Reading this book, I saw history vanquish amnesia, David slay Goliath, and tenacity take down tyrants…. I saw the world saved over and over.” Activist Bill McKibben writes: “Resist we must, resist we will―and as this volume powerfully reminds us, in so doing we are acting on the deepest American instincts.” And writer Naomi Benaron says “At this moment in history, when even the act of listening to the news can cause despair, Biggers gives us hope. He reaffirms the light that resistance offers….a cornerstone of what it means to be American.”

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
