This will be our last DEI minute until the Fall 2022 semester!
The summer is here! Which means it is time to venture out, relax, and enjoy some time off. Whatever your plan is for a fun summer, we would like to offer some book suggestions about issues of race in the United States to accompany your adventures.
: How to Be an Antiracist is a 2019 nonfiction book by American author and historian Ibram X. Kendi, which combines social commentary and memoir.
: So You Want to Talk About Race is a 2018 book by Ijeoma Oluo that gives great insight into how to engage in much needed conversations about race. Each chapter title is a question about race in contemporary America.
: Michelle Alexander's book, The New Jim Crow, offers a hard-hitting, unabashed look at the U.S. criminal justice system and the harsh realities of contemporary racism that folks of color face in America, particularly African American men.ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý
