This is real life right here and a good lesson for any child that this is what black people are dealing with, have to deal, with every day in America. There is no swearing, very little to no violence, no sex (just kissing). It's a sophisticated teenage look at our justice system, our police, racism and racial profiling, white supremacy, etc. It's a really great book. ...more (less)

That said I grew up steeped in the history of IrelandIlm first generation Irish with a bunch of aunts, uncles and cousins in the Republic of Ireland. That said I grew up steeped in the history of Ireland and subsequently the Troubles in the north of Ireland. I would recommend this book both for it's truth and it's look into the complexity of violence to achieve a goal. I would also recommend a piece of fiction call Milkman by Anna Burns that will help you understand the psyche of people living during the troubles. Finally if you haven't read it already I would recommend you read Apeirogon by Colm McCann. David Livingston...more (less)

I made the mistake of watching the movie before I read the book. Normally, I always prefer the book. In this case, I really enjoyed the things that "were not said" in the movie - the actors were able to convey with facial expressions and their body language what they dared not say out loud. In comparison, the book is quite "chatty". Cameron Post, in the book, comes across as naive but sexually curious, whereas Chloe Grace Moretz, in the movie, portrayed Cameron as a typical young teen who just w ...more

I think this book is more self-help than it is memoir, and the memoir parts were way more interesting.
First off: I have a real problem with the author describing herself as "caged." I think middle-class, college educated white women really overestimate and catastrophise the kind of disadvantages they face from being women. We are all certainly confined by cultural and social values that are arbitrary. I would not call being in an unhappy marriage "caged." There are actual people in cages in Ame...more

Last Night at the Telegraph Club is less about the romance between Lily and Kath but more about Lily trying to grasp her identity as a Chinese American lesbian in the 1950s.

Two longtime friends share an intimate and urgent conversation about life, music, and their enduring love of America, with all its challenges and contradictions, in this stunningly produced expansion of their groundbreaking Higher Ground podcast, featuring more than 350 photographs, exclusive bonus content, and never-before-seen archival material.
Renegades: Born in the USA is a candid, revealing, and entertaining dialogue between President Barack Obama and legendary musician Bruce Springsteen that explores everything from their origin stories and career-defining moments to our country's polarized politics and the growing distance between the American Dream and the American reality. Filled with full-color photographs and rare archival material, it is a compelling and beautifully illustrated portrait of two outsiders—one Black and one white—looking for a way to connect their unconventional searches for meaning, identity, and community with the American story itself. It includes:

Original introductions by President Obama and Bruce Springsteen

Exclusive new material from the Renegades podcast recording sessions

Obama's never-before-seen annotated speeches, including his "Remarks at the 50th Anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery Marches"

Springsteen's handwritten lyrics for songs spanning his 50-year-long career

Rare and exclusive photographs from the authors' personal archives

Historical photographs and documents that provide rich visual context for their conversation

In a recording studio stocked with dozens of guitars, and on at least one Corvette ride, Obama and Springsteen discuss marriage and fatherhood, race and masculinity, the lure of the open road and the call back to home. They also compare notes on their favorite protest songs, the most inspiring American heroes of all time, and more. Along the way, they reveal their passion for—and the occasional toll of—telling a bigger, truer story about America throughout their careers, and explore how our fractured country might begin to find its way back toward unity and global leadership.

A must read...for everyone.

"The history of slavery is the history of the United States. It was not peripheral to our founding; it was central to it. It is not irrelevant to our contemporary society; it created it. This history is in our soil, it is in our policies, and it must, too, be in our memories."

Dr. Smith's journey across historic sites on both sides of the Mason-Dixie line and the Atlantic Ocean explore that relationship.

What a wonderful expression of what it means to be a young black man in the United States today! This should be required reading in high school English classes. His words are carefully chosen and his images so well drawn. He will become on of our great American poets. I bought copies for my daughter to use in her Reading Resource class and gifted a young graduate student in my department with my copy. Now I have to get another one. I will watch for his next book. He is a treasure.
