Check out our 11th Selection! Our second selection for the 2018-19 is The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas. This is a compelling story that addresses police brutality, code-switching, racial profiling, microaggressions, and other issues through its sympathetic (and funny!) teen protagonist, Starr Carter. Centering a character who is coming to better understand herself as a young black woman allows us to accompany her through her identity formation, ignited in large part by the tragedy of her friend’s death at the hands of the police.  Published February 28, 2017, The Hate U Give debuted at number one on The New York Times young adult best-seller list where it remained for 50 weeks. It received positive reviews and won several awards. It is Thomas’ debut novel, expanded from a short story she wrote in college following the police shooting of Oscar Grant. It has been adapted into a movie that is currently showing in theaters. Have a book suggestion for a future round? Contact Majo Sandi, our Alumni Relations and Marketing Manager.
