Description

While living in Italy (2006- 2010), I discovered an informal charitable custom in Naples called caffè sospeso, purchasing a coffee for yourself and another for someone less fortunate. I really liked this practice and decided to replicate it in the future. While planning the keynote speaker event for this year's Radical Book Fair, I asked that my fee be waived and that it be given to a "pay-it-forward" initiative.  7 copies of Dispatches from the Diaspora were subsequently given to those in need.
