ABOUT US

Black Sheep Books, a community space and bookstore in Montpelier, Vermont, offers affordable radical and scholarly books, and hosts educational events on cultural and political topics. As an all-volunteer project, we are operated by a five-member collective hand in hand with a group of dedicated volunteers. Our principle focus is to provide access to anti-authoritarian Left ideas in a way that promotes intellectual debate and challenges today’s hegemonic culture.

We see print media and public talks as necessary for the development of critical consciousness and ultimately social change. Such engagement with the transformative power of ideas connects us to each other, helps us to understand our historical context, and guides us in action. This linking of past to present, theory to practice, is a crucial precondition for the emergence of a free and directly democratic society.

By creating this space in public, we strive to contest the depoliticization and alienation rampant under statist and capitalist social relations. We also aim to generate visibility for identities marginalized by normative values and systems of domination through providing community resources and a welcoming space in the context of our rural location.

Together with horizontalist social movements and political projects, bookstores, infoshops, and publishers, Black Sheep Books works toward an egalitarian, ecological, and nonhierarchical society.

"Transamerica"

Life is more than the sum of its parts! In "Transamerica," Bree is a perfectly adjusted conservative transsexual woman. Born Stanley, a genetic male, she's about to take the final step to become the woman that Stanley always wanted to be--until she finds out that she is the parent of a long-lost 17-year-old son. Afraid to tell the rebellious teenager the truth, Bree embarks on a journey with him that will challenge and change both their lives, and bring them closer to the truth of their connection.

featuring:
Ghada Ageel (Khan Younis, Palestine)
Shireen Khamis (Beit Jala, Palestine)
Rela Mazali (Herzlia, Israel)

These three women--a Christian, a Jew, and a Muslim--are living the realities of the Israeli-Palestinian situation: the loss of family, the demolition of homes, persecution, occupation, violence, the separation barrier currently being constructed in the West Bank, Israel’s unilateral "disengagement" from the Gaza Strip, recent escalations in Gaza and Lebanon, and more. They are touring the United States for three weeks to demonstrate that a just peace, while difficult, is possible. As working professionals, activists, mothers, daughters, and partners, these women live the hardships of the conflict and the tragedy of occupation in unique ways.
