LO TERCIARIO/THE TERTIARY
offers a decolonial queer critique and reconsideration of Marx. The book’s titles come from Pedro Scaron’s, El Capital, the 1976 translation of Karl Marx’s classic. Published by Siglo Veintiuno Editores, this translation was commonly used by the Puerto Rican left as part of political formation programs. Lo terciario/the tertiary places this text in relation to the Puerto Rican debt crisis, forcing readers to reconsider old questions when facing colonialism’s newest horrors.

After what will certainly go down as one of the longest and most painful Januarys in American history, TIRE FIRE is back with some great readers, new books, and 50¢ pierogis!

Tom McAllister, Elizabeth Scanlon, Barry Grass, and Laura Kochman will be reading selections from their most recent work.

Donations will be collected for the Women’s Medical Fund, who provides emergency financial support, counseling, and casework to low-income women and teens in Southeastern PA who have made the decision to terminate a pregnancy but do not have the resources to pay for a safe and effective abortion.
