SUMMARY:Celebrating Black History Month: A Special Conversation with Zainab Khan and Hon. Charif Hachim
DESCRIPTION:MALA Executive Director and Co-Founder sits down with Charif Hachim\, the Honorary Consul General to Comoros to discuss Black History Month\, diplomacy\, and community advocacy during these unique times.\nJoin us for this special “Fire-Side” discussion as we celebrate the closing of Black History Month and consider what lies in store for our local and international communities in 2022.\n\nAbout Honorary Consul General Charif Hachim\nThe Honorable Charif Hachim was born in Moroni\, the capital of the Comoros. He earned an undergraduate degree from a French business school and holds an MBA from Roosevelt University (Chicago). As the first Honorary Consul General of the Comoros in a major U.S. city\, he looks forward to establishing commercial\, cultural\, and scientific relations between the Comoros Islands and the Midwest Region of the United States.\nIn 2013 the U.S. State Department confirmed Mr. Hachim as the new Honorary Consul General of the Comoros in Chicago. A few months earlier\, the Comorian Government\, under the leadership of His Excellency Dr. Ikililou Dhoinine\, had formally informed the U.S. government of its intention to appoint Mr. Hachim as the first Honorary Consul General of the Comoros in Chicago.\nThe Honorable Charif Hachim is the perfect person to promote\, cultivate and sustain a relationship between the Comoros and the Midwest Region of the United States due to his business background\, as well as his passion and understanding for both cultures.\nIn addition to his status as Honorary Consul General\, Mr. Hachim works full time as a Business Manager in the public sector. He is in complete compliance with the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations. \nSee less

SUMMARY:Swedish American Museum Book Club Online
DESCRIPTION:The Museum book club reads a wide range of books from the Nordic countries.\nThis is a free event and you can register by emailing museum@samac.org. \nHere are the upcoming book club books:\nFebruary\nAntiphony by Laila Stien\nMarch\nPakkis by Khalid Hussain \nThe books can be bought in the Museum Store. \nAbout Antiphony\nThe narrator\, a young social scientist who works for a newspaper in Oslo\, goes to Northern Norway on leave after a colleague tells her she lacks initiative. On the surface she is supposed to write a book about structural relationships among the Sami (formerly Lapps). However\, loneliness\, in spite of a good social life with her friends in Oslo\, a tense relationship with her own family\, and a feeling of stagnation in her career seem to be the main reasons for her going away. \nShe becomes acquainted with three generations of Sami women\, hears their stories and attempts to make sense of them. Soon she loses her role as impartial observer and becomes more involved in their lives. The more she discovers\, the less she feels she understands. \nThe novel presents a wonderful picture of Sami culture in transition and in the face of inevitable outside forces. In this sense it is a much more universal work demonstrating how an indigenous culture reacts to a dominant culture and what happens over the course of a relatively short period. The novel is also an anti- or non-ethnography in a sense\, blurring the lines between the center/periphery (narrator/Sami women). \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/83441966464

SUMMARY:Genealogy Session Online
DESCRIPTION:Swedish Settlements on the South Shore\nBy Kenneth Schoon \nImmigrants from Sweden were the first non-English speaking people to move into the Indiana Dunes region and establish settlements.  Their legacy can be seen today. \nThis program\, and its accompanying book\, note that these Swedes established more than a dozen local churches\, most of which are still active today.  They built homes out of logs\, lumber\, and bricks\, cleared and farmed the land\, worked for the railroads and the brick factories\, and established businesses\, some of which are still in business today.  Several of the early Swedes served in the Union army in the Civil War.  Nearly all got American citizenship\, and some were elected to political office. \nThe fourth of July was widely celebrated\, but so were Swedish traditions at Midsummer and the Christmas season.   Today descendants of Swedes still learn Swedish songs and dances and celebrate the traditions of their forbears.  Even non-Swedes know about Vikings and may eat Swedish meatballs.  Smörgåsbord has become an American word—though to Swedes it has slightly different meaning.  Swedes and their descendants have helped build the Calumet Area. \nKenneth Schoon is the author of “Swedish Settlements on the South Shore of Lake Michigan.” Although not a Swede\, he is married to the granddaughter of Swedish immigrants. His earlier works include Calumet Beginnings\, Dreams of Duneland\, and Shifting Sands\, all published by Indiana University Press\, and City Trees published by Stackpole Books. \nCost is free for Swedish American Museum Genealogical Society members; $10 for non-members to participate. Member reservations appreciated and can be made via email to genealogy@samac.org or by calling the Museum at 773.728.8111 and non-members can use the button below.

She documents her own childhood trauma history—that is shared by far too many Black women and girls—as well as traumas inflicted upon the Black community as a whole. \nHer book\, Surviving\, Healing\, and Evolving: Essays of Love\, Compassion\, Healing\, and Affirmation for Black People\, out this month includes the essay\, “Still Enchanted After All These Years” . This essay focuses on the history of Black Chicago—from DuSable to Harold Washington—and how Washington’s electrifying victory as the first Black mayor helped empower Barack Obama\, who was a community organizer in Chicago when Harold was mayor.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: Operation Payback
DESCRIPTION:What We Didn’t Know Then\, What We Know Now\nProf. Luciuk is a renowned scholar in the field of Ukrainian studies specializing in the history of the Ukrainian diaspora in Canada and the United States. He is a full professor of political geography at the Royal Military College of Canada.\n\nProf. Luciuk will discuss a book\, titled “Operation Payback: Soviet Disinformation and Alleged Nazi War Criminals in North America.” The book is a compilation of approximately 40 commentaries written by Prof. Luciuk in the past four decades\, along with documentation related to the topic of how Jewish and Ukrainian communities in the United States and Canada were manipulated with disinformation and set against each other since the 1960s in an overt plan to set both communities against each other.\n\nThe key document of the book is the translation of the KGB memorandum written in October 1985 that outlines Operation Payback (Retribution)\, which confirms that the KGB had several directorates created to advance Jewish demands that Nazi war criminals be brought to justice by alleging that many of these war collaborators were living among Ukrainian emigres. These allegations were repeated so often that they were presumed to be true.

SUMMARY:Schubert\, America\, and the Police
DESCRIPTION:DANK Haus German American Cultural Center\nPresentation and musical performance by Pauline Tan (mezzo-soprano) and Pierre-Nicolas Colombat (pianist) \nWhile many of classical music’s most revered performers\, ensembles\, and institutions are American\, the vast majority of “household names” in classical music are European. The result can feel like Americans are stuck in a never ending game of catch-up. This Eurocentric attitude ignores the deep influence that America had on some of Europe’s most significant figures. \nOne American in particular\, James Fenimore Cooper\, emerges as a uniting thread between individuals as diverse as Franz Schubert\, the Marquis de Lafayette\, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Cooper’s novels enjoyed a massive readership in Europe at a time in which it was undergoing widespread conservative reforms. These books\, which typically depict a collection of diverse characters in times of tumultuous upheaval\, such as in the Leather Stocking Tales trilogy\, proved to be an effective antidote to the Europamüdigkeit (Europe-weariness)afflicting European intellectual life. \nOn his deathbed and in the midst of revising drafts of Winterreise\, Schubert asked for a copy of this American writer’s latest book. Goethe kept notes in his diary of the long list of Cooper’s books he had read. As a testament to the power of the author’s oeuvre as propaganda\, Lafayette invited Cooper to live with him at his estate for several weeks in the hopes that he might feature as a cameo in the writer’s next novel. \nThe American influence was not limited to those who knew Cooper’s novels. Nikolaus Lenau\, one of Schumann’s favored poets\, went so far as to purchase a farm in Ohio and toured modern day New York state extensively. Although his American journey turned out to be a catastrophe\, the Austrian poet had long maintained that witnessing the American wilderness as well as its political project first hand would help him develop his poetic aesthetic. \nThis program features the standard German Romantic tropes of the Wanderer\, the wilderness\, Sehnsucht and Einsamkeit. Centered on the music of Franz Schubert and Robert Schumann as well as the poetry of Nikolaus Lenau and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe\, our selections will highlight the under-appreciated ways in which American audiences and performers can find agency in the context of typically Germanic Romantic repertoire. While the myth of America as the land of burgeoning opportunity rightfully incites the cries of many cynics\, this narrative nevertheless had deep and impactful reverberations in early 19th-century aesthetic movements. Given the contemporary cultural and political conversation over what America might become\, classical music may have more to contribute to these themes than one might think. \nThis event will take place in-person at the DANK Haus\, on the 5th floor\, Sat\, Feb 19 at 6pm.\nRegister here: www.dankhaus.com/events

Unable to write the phrase “My father is dead” in either his native Greek or his adopted French\, he heads for Africa to undertake the learning of Sango. Traveling across both borders and time\, he examines his past\, his family history\, and the colonial and political ties of his homelands. While at first he does not know why learning a new and uncommon language has become vital to him\, he comes to discover that the new language enables him to easily write of his father’s passing. But as he truly experiences Sango—meets its speakers\, travels where it emerged and has struggled to survive—his intimacy with it grows\, and he is once again unable to utter the telling phrase. Meditating on language\, loss\, and the power of words to express or constrain human emotion\, this tale of speaking\, living\, and letting go is filled with delicate suspense\, humor\, and honesty. \nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nhm-virtual-book-club-foreign-words-tickets-224880141557
