GUN COUNTRY Panel Discussion, featuring Andrew McKevitt, Paige Masten, and Andrew Willinger at Flyleaf Books
GUN COUNTRY Panel Discussion, featuring Andrew McKevitt, Paige Masten, and Andrew Willinger at Flyleaf Books
Come hear a panel discussion on how the United States became the gun capital of the world in the twentieth century, and the repercussions experienced in our Chapel Hill community. Just as World War II transformed the United States into a global military and economic superpower, so too did it forge the gun country America is today. After 1945, war-ravaged European nations possessed large surpluses of mass-produced weapons, and American entrepreneurs seized the opportunity to buy used munitions for pennies on the dollar and resell them stateside. A booming consumer market made cheap guns accessible to millions of Americans, and rates of gun ownership and violence began to climb. Andrew C. McKevitt tells the history of this gun boom through the dynamics of consumer capitalism and Cold War ideology, the combination of which resulted in a vast number of Americans arming themselves to the teeth and centering their political identity on their guns. When gun control legislation emerged in the 1960s, many Americans, accustomed to the unregulated postwar bounty of cheap guns and fearful of Soviet invasion, domestic subversion, and urban uprisings, fiercely challenged it. Meanwhile, gun control groups were diverted from their abolitionist roots toward a conciliatory, fundraising-focused strategy that struggled to limit the stockpiling of firearms. Gun Country recasts the story of guns in postwar America as one of Cold War and racial anxieties, unfettered capitalism, and exceptional violence that continues to haunt us to this day. Andrew C. McKevitt is John D. Winters Endowed Professor of History at Louisiana Tech University. He is the author of the recently released book, Gun Country: Gun Capitalism, Culture, and Control in Cold War America. Paige Masten, a lifelong North Carolinian and UNC alum, is the deputy opinion editor for The Charlotte Observer. She covers stories that impact people in Charlotte […]

DéLana R. A. Dameron presents REDWOOD COURT at Flyleaf Books
DéLana R. A. Dameron presents REDWOOD COURT at Flyleaf Books
“Mika, you sit at our feet all these hours and days, hearing us tell our tales. You have all these stories inside you: all the stories everyone in our family knows and all the stories everyone in our family tells. You write ‘em in your books and show everyone who we are.” So begins award-winning poet DéLana R. A. Dameron’s stunning novel-in-stories, Redwood Court. The baby of the family, Mika Tabor spends much of her time in the care of loved ones, listening to their stories and witnessing their struggles. Growing up on Redwood Court, the cul-de-sac in the all Black working-class suburb of Columbia, South Carolina, where her grandparents live, Mika learns important lessons from the people who raise her: her exhausted parents, who work long hours at multiple jobs while still making sure their kids experience the adventure of family vacations; her older sister, who, in a house filled with Motown would rather listen to Alanis Morrisette, and can’t wait to taste real independence; her retired grandparents, children of Jim Crow, who realized their own vision of success when they bought their house on Redwood Court in the 1960s, imagining it filled with future generations; and the many neighbors on the Court who hold tight to the community they’ve built, committed to fostering joy and love in an America so insistent on seeing Black people stumble and fall. With visceral clarity and powerful prose, Dameron reveals the devastation of being made to feel invisible and the transformative power of being seen. Redwood Court is a celebration of extraordinary, ordinary people striving to achieve their own American dreams. DéLana R. A. Dameron received an MFA in poetry from NYU. Her debut collection, How God Ends Us, was selected by Elizabeth Alexander for the South Carolina Poetry Book Prize. Her […]
