medhinik 's review for:
The Hate U Give
by Angie Thomas
This book should be mandatory reading. Such a heartbreaking and powerful look at the US’ broken and racist policing, incarceration, and housing systems. Even though this is largely a story about oppression, oppressed people, and oppressive systems, the characters aren’t portrayed as victims or without agency. Thomas wrote such depth and empathy into every character, I felt like I really got to know every person in the book and better understand the complexities of the moment we’re in.
