Op vrijdagavond loopt Rashad nog even snel de supermarkt in. Hij eindigt buiten op de stoep terwijl een politie-agent op hem inslaat. Omdat hij iets liet vallen. Omdat hij een zwarte jongen is. Rashad belandt in het ziekenhuis en wil eigenlijk zo snel mogelijk terug naar zijn oude leven. Maar wat doe je wanneer jij wordt gebruikt als nationaal voorbeeld van raciale ongelij ...more

Wow! This was incredibly powerful. This is a book that will move you and challenge you to think about the world that we currently live in. It focuses on racism and police brutality. I really respected the emphasis on how not all police are bad, but that there can be power imbalances. This book definitely left a mark on me and I know that it’s one that I’ll think about often.

This was so so powerful and basically amazing. I know it's a slightly older book (2015) but it's like on par with The Hate U Give which has a ton of well-earned fame. This one about #blackLivesMatter is like just as powerful and super heartbreaking and the last scenes were heartwrenching.

It's dual narrated by Rashad and Quinn. And it was interesting to get both perspectives. Rashad is the victim of police brutality where he's nearly beaten to death for doing absolutely nothing. And Quinn knows t ...more

I feel the same way I did after reading The Hate U Give - a powerful, well written story that can be appreciated by all. But if it’s not already, this should be required reading for middle and high school students. Looking forward to reading more by Jason Reynolds.

Part of the problem is that All American Boys is preaching to the choir for me. This book did little to further my understanding of race relations or police power in the US. Then again, I've closely followed the stories of Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland, etc. etc. etc. I'd be curious to know the reaction of people who support #alllivesmatter, people who cheered when the jury decided not to indict Darren Wilson, people who feel ambivalent, or people who just haven't been paying much attention. It seems like this book is really written for them. If it can change their minds or broaden their perspectives, then the book is a monumental achievement.

That being said, I just don't like "social problem novels" very much. When it comes to social problems, I'd much, much rather read non-fiction. And I suppose I am troubled to imagine that there are people more compelled by a fictional account of racism and police brutality than the copious real-world examples. Of course, if the safe distance of fiction is necessary to open minds, then how can I criticize the use of fiction as a tool for good? Mostly I worry that social problem novels aren't effective... that they only foster a sense of smug satisfaction about pre-existing convictions and alienate those who disagree.

The book does a fantastic job representing the voices and concerns of the teenaged protagonists - I could imagine many of my former students relating deeply to these characters and getting fired up about the injustices depicted. The book offers a "high interest low-reading level" bridge to more challenging material - I would wager that there will be reluctant readers that pick up a copy of Invisible Man after reading All American Boys. Teachers will find ample opportunities to supplement this text with non-fiction articles, and I imagine students will be more eager to read those articles in the context of this book.

My one true criticism of the text (other than its genre, which may just be a personal mismatch) is that our first view of Paul takes place during his brutal beating of Rashad. It broke Quinn's heart to see his role-model acting so reprehensibly, and the story would have been more effective if it had broken our hearts as readers as well. Since we first see Paul as a villain, we can never really empathize with Quinn's disillusionment. ...more

I feel bad that I had to kinda rush through this (it was overdue at the library)––but I can tell you, this is a great and important book that deserves attention.

All-American Boys is the story of Rashad, a black teen who is assaulted by a white cop, and Quinn, a white classmate of his who witnesses the crime (and who also happens to be friends with the cop). It's quite a painful story to read because it's all too familiar. It's impossible to even count the number of true stories about people of ...more

Rashad is a pretty typical 17-year-old kid, going to high school, partying with his friends, working on the sketches he hopes to make a living at one day, and participating in ROTC because his dad makes him. But Rashad is also black -- and when a woman trips over him in a convenience store, a white cop jumps to conclusions about what Rashad was doing and beats him up, brutally enough to break ribs and put him in the hospital for a week.

Rashad is a pretty typical 17-year-old kid, going to high school, partying with his friends, working on the sketches he hopes to make a living at one day, and participating in ROTC because his dad makes him. But Rashad is also black -- and when a woman trips over him in a convenience store, a white cop jumps to conclusions about what Rashad was doing and beats him up, brutally enough to break ribs and put him in the hospital for a week.

Quinn, a white kid at the same school, misses what triggered the beating, but sees the rest … including that the cop is a guy who is practically his own big brother. But Quinn plays basketball with some of Rashad’s friends, who let him know the cop’s version of the story is wrong. Quinn is torn -- who should he support? And should he tell anyone what he saw?

I really liked this book. It’s narrated by both Rashad and Quinn, and since they’re written by two different authors, their voices were distinct -- I never once had to flip back to the beginning of a chapter to figure out whose POV I was reading. Both boys are well-rounded and engaging characters, trying to find their way in the world through their own unique experiences. They both speak powerfully and authentically, and as a reader sharing their development through this particular event, I was completely engrossed, zooming through this book in two days. This is one of the few “issue-type” books I’d consider re-reading, because there was enough else going on in the story to make it just a plain good book, even without the timely and important message. Rashad’s interest in art and Quinn’s dedication to basketball made great subthreads; both felt completely organic. Their families and friends are real people as well, just trying to make their own way in the world as best they can.

The book also brings in other issues of police brutality, such as how the cop’s official story is often different from what really happened, and how we only know this because of the ubiquity of phone videos over the past few years.

“Rashad is absent again today,” painted in front of the school as graffiti by one of his friends, became a rallying cry through the story, and then made me cry when it was applied to real-life victims of police violence in the US:
“Eric Garner -- absent again today!”
“Tamir Rice -- absent again today!”
“Sandra Bland -- absent again today!”
And the list goes on and on.
Absent again today and forever. And thinking about that is making me cry all over again.

I read this book over the July 4th weekend. And then we had the last two weeks in this country, which made it really hard to write this review.

Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, absent again today. Five police officers in Dallas and three police officers in Baton Rouge, absent again today. When and where the hell is it going to end?

Read this book. It doesn’t offer any answers to that question, but its insights are important and well worth a few hours.

Review originally posted on YA Love

Typically for an audio review I break up my post into two parts: the audio review followed by the book review. Today I’ve decided to break away from that. Rashad’s and Quinn’s stories prompted a number of questions to form as I listened to All American Boys, so I decided to list my questions instead of writing a formal review. I think the questions I kept asking myself speak volumes about the story and about our society. All of the questions I’m listing stem fr ...more

The rating for this YA book so far is very high I think primarily because it is timely, ripped out of the daily news about racism and police brutality: Rashad, a (black) teen in a convenience store to buy a bag of chips, reaches into his backpack while in line just as a (white) woman accidentally bumps into him, and he falls to the floor.

The owner, much besieged by petty theft, sees Rashad with his hand in his bag, yells to a (white) cop in the store that the kid is shoplifting. The cop beats the kid to a pulp, which would be brutally harsh even if he WERE shoplifting.

Quinn, a (white) teen who sees this agrees the brutality is unwarranted. But the tricky thing is that the cop doing the beating is Paul, a father figure to Quinn, whose biological Dad died in battle. Paul lives right across the street, has helped me in many ways, including developing as a basketball player. So the issue here is courage, which Quinn’s Dad had, in three post-911 tours of Afghanistan; does Quinn have the courage do the right thing? The answer is that it is a process. How do you turn in your “Dad” in this pretty macho, basketball-playing, cop and soldier world of men,, and in one fraught with issues of race? The answer for most people is: You don’t. Loyalty means you don’t. So the courage to do the right thing bumps up against the code of silence.

I had just read YA texts by Alexie and Schmidt, also about difficult social issues, and they have greater complexity and overall writing quality than this book, which I read very fast, hardly marking a phrase I loved. I guess I would categorize it as a solid, admirable, “high interest, low level” book for middle and high school kids, and it’s easy enough for even tweens to read (though the high school level swearing might put teachers/parents off). The characters seem real, the friendships and tensions and the dialogue seems real, and we get to understand how whites and blacks might see situations differently (though in the end, they see everything exactly alike, basically. This is a #BlackLIvesMatter book with pretty didactic anti-racist purposes). Overall my students are liking it. It’s a fast and they seem to think “important” book for young people to read, so that’s important.

The writing strategy for the book is interesting: Two authors, one white, one black, friends, each represent the same events in alternating chapter fashion for each of the two main characters. The book is thus great for connecting to current events (like we are doing in my class, with Chicago Laquan McDonald/Jason cop-killer story, with its own cover-ups and lies and cops being fired). Unfortunately there are many such stories for us to choose from for comparative purposes.

The incident , we discover, was video-taped, social media hashtags and slogans are developed for the purpose of spreading the news--#RashadIsNotInSchoolAgain—concluding smoothly with a march from the store to the police station that also has a “die-in” where everyone lies down in the street. Things move with almost no real complications to its pretty uplifting conclusion, but without a real conversation between Quinn and cop Paul. Quiinn (a little too) quickly goes from regular guy basketball-obsessed guy to admirable but sorta unbelievably articulate spokesman for anti-racist action. There are few complicating factors at all unless you count the fact that Quinn knows Paul, and also (for thematic and racial balance), we discover (spoiler alert, maybe) that Rashad’s Dad was ALSO a vet and ALSO someone who (he confesses to his son) was ALSO a cop who seriously damaged (shooting to paralyze) an innocent kid by mistake. Two races, two families, two cops who have done bad things, but neither of these things are adequately discussed with the perpetrators.

Rashad is a good kid, ROTC, never in trouble because of his cop/soldier tough Dad, and he’s an artist who grew up liking the daily strip The Family Circle, a “white people’s” comic he never felt possible for him. There’s a promising mention of the really, really racially complex and almost surreal “Battle Royal” episode from Invisible Man that Quinn is reading in English class, but not enough develops from it. Still, I liked the book and will recommend it widely to young people and teachers of young people. It’s a conversation starter with obvious links between the literature and life in the U.S. (and interestingly, not in many other places). It’s not a great or complex book but it is easy to read and topical.
