The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

5.0

This book is amazing. The complexity, compassion, and pure emotion that Angie Thomas poured into this book blew me away. My heart aches for Star, rages at the injustice of police brutality, and hollers that BLACK LIVES MATTER. From a student affairs pro practice, this book is applicable to everyone interested, or not, in growing in their understanding and honoring of the Black American experience. It also looks at PTSD, gang violence, economic oppression and privilege, and white fragility in realistic and hard hitting ways. 10 out of 10 recommend this book, and thank Angie Thomas and all other advocates for the work they do.
