Banned Book Club (Adult): Hood Feminism
ABOUT THE EVENT
Across the U.S., “challenging” literature is disappearing from schools and libraries, with stories about diverse identities and vulnerable groups in the crosshairs. In our new Banned Book Club, we’re spending a year with a few of these books, which represent American history and our nation’s diverse people and communities with love, humor, and honesty.
The titles that we have selected have been challenged by lawmakers to prevent them from being taught in schools and universities, and in some cases to be available at libraries. We believe these books are valuable, enhance our understanding of the shared human experience, and are worthy of widespread audiences. The book club will include both in-person and virtual gatherings. More information will be available upon registration.
Participation in the Banned Book Club is free, but registration is required.
