The Senior Caucus hosts a book club monthly on the third Monday at 11:00a, using Zoom technology. Everyone is invited to join the discussion.
The next meeting is June 16, when we will discuss Dodge County, Incorporated: Big Ag and the Undoing of Rural America by Sonja Trom Eayrs. In a compelling firsthand account of one family’s efforts to stand against corporate takeover, Trom Eayrs tells a story of corporate malfeasance. Starting with the late 1800s, when her Norwegian great-grandfather immigrated to Dodge County, Trom Eayrs tracks the changes to farming over the years that gave rise to the disembodied corporate control of today’s food system. Trom Eayrs argues that far from being an essential or inextricable part of American life, corporatism can and should be fought and curbed, not only for the sake of land, labor, and water but for democracy itself.

We focus on books of a political, historical, or scientific nature that pertain to understanding our current political climate. The authors are recognized experts in their fields (politics, journalism, history, science). Occasionally we read a book of fiction.
