Internationalist Books and Community Center, located in Carrboro, North Carolina,[1] was a volunteer operated infoshop, non-profit collective, and community center for local activists. The store name was a reference to the political philosophy of internationalism. Often, the center was called "The Internationalist" or merely "Eye Books" by its volunteers, members, and supporters.
Internationalist Books sold new and used books, alternative magazines, local and small press materials, Fanzine/zines, and sidelines.[2] Since its founding, the Internationalist grew into a center of activism, political discussion, creative grassroots organizing, and a space which brought together people of all ages, sexual orientation, ethnic background, political beliefs and gender identity. It closed in September of 2016.[3]
