Case Western Reserve University’s Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities will host a book launch event for a Professor of English William Marling on Wednesday, April 20, from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. in Clark Hall, Room 206.
Marling will give a lecture on his new book, Christian Anarchist: Ammon Hennacy, A Life on the Catholic Left. The book tells the story of Ammon Hennacy, a forerunner of contemporary progressive thought who was as an exemplar of vegetarianism, ecology, and pacificism, and illuminates a broader history of political ideas now largely lost: the late 19th-century utopian movements, the grassroots socialist movements before World War I, and the antinuclear protests of the 1960s.
All members of the campus community are invited to the event that will include a reading, talk and reception.
