Bookclub: The Jakarta Method (SYD)

About

Welcome to our latest event happening at The Winery, a bar and restaurant in Surry Hills! This month we will be reading The Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins.

The Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins uncovers the hidden history of how the United States supported anti-communist mass killings during the Cold War, beginning with Indonesia’s 1965–66 massacres and extending across the Global South. Bevins traces how the “Jakarta” model - eliminating left-wing movements through military violence - was replicated elsewhere, revealing the brutal human cost behind the creation of the modern global political order.

For those new to Literature Clubhouse, we are a growing bookclub that focusses on classic, philosophy, and feminist literature. If you're in your 20s and looking for a third-space to meet likeminded people, make new friends, and enjoy some good food and drink, then come along to our monthly meet-ups.

Please aim to have read (or have at least made a substantial effort to read) the book before coming to the event as it helps facilitate a more lively conversation. If you couldn't get to it or signed up last minute thats fine too! We'd still love to see you there.

The booking is under the name 'Nafisa'. Please make sure not to arrive early as we need time to prepare your fun evening!
