The October meeting of Books & Brews will focus on “Tribe” by Sebastian Junger and will include a sample tasting of a featured beer.

More About “Tribe:”
Junger studies war veterans from an anthropological perspective and asks how “do you make veterans feel that they are returning to a cohesive society that was worth fighting for in the first place?” Junger’s premise is that “soldiers all but ignore differences of race, religion and politics within their platoon,” and upon return to America, find a fractious society splintered into various competing factions, often hostile to one another.

Molly Lee, a cultural anthropologist working in Alaska, will describe her pioneering collaborative research with Yup’ik basket makers.

Presented by The Peary-MacMillan Arctic Museum & Arctic Studies Center.

Free and Open to the Public.
