On December 2nd (Wednesday) from 6:30 7:30 PM, we at TCLIP will host our first book club, Diversity in Books. This book club is open to everyone in our community and will meet virtually every first Wednesday of the month. We will be discussing books on diverse voices. Our book of the month for December is BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME, by Ta-Nehisi Coates. Our first book club session will be facilitated by Coquitlam Public Library. Register now: https://diversity-in-books.eventb...rite.com/ About the book: In a profound work that pivots from the biggest questions about American history and ideals to the most intimate concerns of a father for his son, Ta-Nehisi Coates offers a powerful new framework for understanding our nation’s history and current crisis. Americans have built an empire on the idea of race, a falsehood that damages us all but falls most heavily on the bodies of black women and menbodies exploited through slavery and segregation, and, today, threatened, locked up, and murdered out of all proportion. What is it like to inhabit a black body and find a way to live within it? And how can we all honestly reckon with this fraught history and free ourselves from its burden? Between the World and Me is Ta-Nehisi Coates’s attempt to answer these questions in a letter to his adolescent son. Coates shares with his sonand readersthe story of his awakening to the truth about his place in the world through a series of revelatory experiences, from Howard University to Civil War battlefields, from the South Side of Chicago to Paris, from his childhood home to the living rooms of mothers whose children’s lives were taken as American plunder. Beautifully woven from personal narrative, reimagined history, and fresh, emotionally charged reportage, Between the World and Me clearly illuminates the past, bracingly confronts our present, and offers a transcendent vision for a way forward. #bookclub #bookofthemonth #inclusion #diversity
