The Hoopla Huddle Discussion Group will be meeting (virtually) on Monday, July 13, at 3:00 PM to talk about So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo.
BOOK DESCRIPTION: Widespread reporting on aspects of white supremacy–from police brutality to the mass incarceration of Black Americans–has put a media spotlight on racism in our society. Still, it is a difficult subject to talk about. How do you tell your roommate her jokes are racist? Why did your sister-in-law take umbrage when you asked to touch her hair–and how do you make it right? How do you explain white privilege to your white, privileged friend?
In So You Want to Talk About Race, Ijeoma Oluo guides readers of all races through subjects ranging from intersectionality and affirmative action to “model minorities” in an attempt to make the seemingly impossible possible: honest conversations about race and racism, and how they infect almost every aspect of American life.
All are welcome to join the Hoopla Huddle Discussion Group, and an audiobook of So You Want to Talk About Race can be downloaded for free from Hoopla with your library card. Ebook copies may also be available to download through Overdrive.
To receive the login information for the Zoom meeting, please register for next month’s Hoopla Huddle through our Online Calendar.
