Book Club - October

 


The American Library Association established Banned Books Week in 1982.

This book was released in 2017 and complaints were received almost immediately.  White parents saw it as "racially insensitive" and anti-police.

I only started last week, I'm on Chapter 3, but it gets right into it.


The title comes from a Tupac quote about the term, THUG LIFE.

"The Hate U Give Little Infants Fucks Everybody."

Explained in the book, "Meaning what society gives us as youth, it bites them in the ass when we wild out."  What the author sees there is the anger, the riots, the demand for justice.
