- Booker Prize winner…
Shuggie Bain
Winner of the 2020 Booker Prize. A deeply sympathetic story about poverty and addiction in 1980s Glasgow, and a cutting look at the impact of Thatcherism in Scotland. The titular character, the young Shuggie Bain, is desperate to escape the trappings of being poor and attain that elusive status of “normal”; his mother, Agnes, wants to stay sober but keeps falling back into alcoholism. “Challenging, intimate and gripping … anyone who reads it will never feel the same,” said the Booker Prize judges.
- Antiracism reads…
Stamped from the Beginning
In this National Book Award winner, Ibram X. Kendi traces the history of racist ideas in America, specifically through the three concepts of segregation, assimilation, and antiracism. Kendi contextualizes recent events, including the tragic killing of Black men and women and urgent calls for racial justice. Powerful, eye-opening, and deeply researched, this chronicle of the seeds and spread of prejudice is a necessary read.
