Join us for our February discussion where we will be reading Riot Baby by Tochi Onyebuchi
We will meet on Tuesday, February 27th, at 12:00 PM. The discussion will be simulcast to both locations of the Center for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (100 Johnston Hall at Middletown and 114 Rentschler Hall at Hamilton) for attendees who would like to meet face-to-face. You will also be able to attend via Zoom. Snacks will be provided for face-to-face attendees.
Below is a brief synopsis of the book:
Ella has a Thing. She sees a classmate grow up to become a caring nurse. A neighbor's son murdered in a drive-by shooting. Things that haven't happened yet. Kev, born while Los Angeles burned around them, wants to protect his sister from a power that could destroy her. But when Kev is incarcerated, Ella must decide what it means to watch her brother suffer while holding the ability to wreck cities in her hands.
Rooted in the hope that can live in anger, Riot Baby is as much an intimate family story as a global dystopian narrative. It burns fearlessly toward revolution and has quietly devastating things to say about love, fury, and the black American experience.
Please use our LinkTree to sign up so we will know if you're coming to one of the Centers or if you'll join us on Zoom. You can also tell us how you'd like to receive your free copy of the book (while supplies last, limited quantities).
Thank you to our wonderful sponsors:
Bennyce Hamilton, Director, Center for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Krista McDonald, Director, Rentschler Library
John Burke, Director, Gardner-Harvey Library
We cannot wait for another excellent book discussion!
