Along with our upcoming Anti-Racist publication and more general conversations around peoples experience of racism and proposed Anti-Racist material for the group to engage with next time.
We also have a newly announced book that we are discussing, Go Tell it on the Mountain by James Baldwin, it is available from Bookshop.org for £9.29, link here. We will discuss the book early April.
Go Tell It on the Mountain is an emotional story that contains time gaps throughout seventy years. The novel allows its reader to peek into the minds of multiple characters; however, the story takes place during one twenty-four hour period. The book explores several controversial topics in the history of the United States, including racism in New York's Harlem and the South, poverty, and the anger that racism stimulated.
This is Bob's choice of book, thank you Bob. There is also the free audiobook version of the book on youtube here
Anyone is welcome to these discussions. Please let us know if you need any financial assistance in purchasing this book.
Please feel free to come along and listen even if you have not engaged with our chosen material as it can still be a great experience to hear people talk about what they've learned.
