Lin asked this question about Between the World and Me:
I'm looking for great non-fiction for 16-18 year old readers in advanced classes--especially titles that have their literary fingers on the public pulse, so to speak. Should I consider this text for my students?
Mignon Ariel King Yes. It's beautifully written and reads well as a young adults' intro to racism discussion prompt. It was not powerful and transcendent to me personal…moreYes. It's beautifully written and reads well as a young adults' intro to racism discussion prompt. It was not powerful and transcendent to me personally, but I am over 50 and went to a women's college; this struck me as a modern male perspective on topics Black feminists were writing about 30+years ago. (Most teens haven't read core feminist texts, so Coates' accessible style and the timeliness of the topic could have a huge impact on classroom discussions.)(less)
