Book Club

We are wrapping up some lighter reading for the summer as we meet on Thursday night at 6:30 p.m. on Zoom. Our final session is August 11. Join us as the Spirit moves you! We are a very relaxed and casual group!  Our final book is Minneapolis, an Urban Biography. The Zoom link is below.
 
Minneapolis, an Urban Biography, by Tom Weber: 208 pages. “In this succinct and thought-provoking book, Tom Weber provides an urban biography of the City of Lakes. The confluence of the Mississippi and the Minnesota River is a sacred place for Dakota people, who have lived here for millennia. Since the city’s beginnings in the 1850s, Minneapolis has experienced continual collapses and rebuilding. Some collapses were real, as when the Falls were nearly destroyed; some are metaphorical, as when corruption and the mob threatened to overtake the life of the city. Weber also explores the effects of the rebuilding and who was in charge: who was left in, and who was left out. Cities, like people, are always changing, and the history of that change is the city’s biography. This book illuminates the unique character of Minneapolis, weaving in the hidden stories of place, politics, and identity that continue to shape its residents’ lives.”
