When reading this book everyone should think deeply about it.
Some things to question:
How does the experience for black men in America today compare to the experience of black men in America in the 1930s especially in regards to the criminal justice system?
How does Mayella use her white privilege to weaponize the oppression that she faces because she is a woman? Would you consider what she did to be a good example of white woman's tears and how harmful it is?
While reading this book is important, I think it is MORE important to read books about black experiences written by black authors as well as books about black people that have themes other than racism. If you read and liked this book and want to learn about and how to help take down racism my advice to you is to diversify your reading list with characters and authors of color (especially black ones).
