  • The Hate U Give By By Angie Thomas 

    In this breakout novel, protagonist Starr Carter juggles two lives—the lower-class Black community in which she lives and the majority white high school she attends. However, her whole world comes toppling down when she witnesses the murder of her childhood friend at the hands of a police officer. This novel, now adapted into a feature film, is a stunning coming-of-age story dealing with prevalent issues of race, class, and finding your voice in a world full of hate.

  • The Skin We're In: A Year of Black Resistance And Power by Desmond Cole

    Do you believe that racism isn’t a problem in Canada, or that it’s a relatively benign issue compared to racism in the United States, or other countries? If so, Desmond Cole may change your mind. Cole’s stories about his personal experience of anti-Black racism made me uncomfortable at times, but that’s a good thing. I felt compelled to reflect much more critically on my previous assumptions about where I live, Toronto, and its supposed multi-cultural, post-racial ideals and assumptions. I highly recommend you buy Cole’s book or audiobook, and support Cole’s ongoing activism, and his influence on the public conversation about racism in Canada.⁣
