"Mistaken Identities: Nation/Race/Gender"
A discussion with Robert Jensen of the themes in his last three books

• Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity, South End Press, 2007.
• The Heart of Whiteness: Confronting Race, Racism and White Privilege, City
Lights Books, 2005.
• Citizens of the Empire: The Struggle to Claim Our Humanity, City Lights
Books, 2004.

In these books, Jensen examines how nation, race, and gender affect our
understanding of ourselves, with a focus on the unjust systems of power and
privilege in which they are embedded. In each case he argues against the
dominant culture's ideology and for a politics of liberation.

Jensen is a journalism professor at the University of Texas at Austin and board

TransUS-
A Discussion on the State of North American Queer Feminist Activism

Christoph Fiedler and Elin Sandström Lundh, a pair of Swedish writers will present their findingsfrom their travels across the US and Canada interviewing people about the state of queer feminist activism in 2008. The interviews will be compiled into a book--part photo-essay, part interviews, part original texts by queer activists.

TransUS says, "Queer-feminist activism constitutes an enormous positive power in its constant evolvement and questioning of both queer-feminist theory and of society at large."

Throughout 2008, they have been travelling across the US and Canada, interviewing people involved in queer-feminist actions such as organizing festivals, starting bands, printing fanzines, doing art, arranging demonstrations or more day-to-day activism.
