Slav Book Club

Message Anat Peled if you want a digital copy of The Dawn of Eurasia and did not receive one.

Book club is back this quarter! Our first read is The Dawn of Eurasia: On the Trail of the New World by Bruno Maçães. This *really good book* offers a view on how geopolitics will shift over the coming decades, and where the center of power will lay tomorrow. Bruno Maçães, a former Secretary of State for European Affairs for Portugal, who has travelled around Eastern Europe, the Eurasian steppe and Asia, has come to the conclusion that America's geopolitical reign has come to an end. But don't be turned off. Bruno isn't just some party hack. He's a learned scholar and bibliophile, too. He offers a refreshing and stunningly rich view on how politics, culture and economics will change when the supercontinent of Eurasia becomes the most dominant geopolitical bloc in the world.

Once in a while Book Club will post about events we think are worthwhile on campus. This Thursday, Jan Gross, a Polish historian of the Holocaust, who was in the news last year for his opposition to the Polish Holocaust Law, will be coming to speak. While we won't be having him with us at book club due to timing constraints, his lecture should be interesting. https://creees.stanford.edu//making-history-my-intellectua
