Campus Community & Alumni

The purpose of the Social Justice Book Club is to build community by reading a variety of literary genres such as poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and graphic novels that reflect social justice, racism, decolonization, identity, and personal narratives that relate to marginalized communities. The mission of this book club is to highlight literature and authors that promote overall acceptance, social justice, and collective healing.
Book Selections this Spring 2023 Semester
1. All Boys Aren't Blue by George M. Johnson
About Book: All Boys Aren't Blue is a young adult non-fiction "memoir-manifesto" by journalist and activist George M. Johnson, published on April 28, 2020, by Farrar, Straus, and Giroux. The book consists of a series of essays following Johnson's journey growing up as a queer Black man in Plainfield, New Jersey, and Virginia.
2. Minor Feelings: An Asian American Reckoning by Cathy Park Hong
This intimate and devastating book traces her relationship to the English language, to shame and depression, to poetry and female friendship. A radically honest work of art, Minor Feelings forms a portrait of one Asian American psyche—and of a writer's search to both uncover and speak the truth.
