SUMMARY:DMI DEAI Book Club
DESCRIPTION:This book club has been meeting for about four years now\, reading a variety of books. \nThis month the group will discuss these 7 questions about the book: ‘Between the World and Me’ by Ta-Nehisi Coates. \n\nHow would you describe the overall tone of Between the World and Me? What emotions are expressed by Coates in his writing\, and what emotions did you feel while reading it?\nDiscuss the title of the book and what Coates may have meant by it.\nThe book is written in the form of a letter from Coates to his 15-year-old son\, Samori. Why do you think Coates chose to structure the book in this way? How did this format affect your reading?\nThe book was written in 2015\, shortly after the police officer responsible for the death of Michael Brown was exonerated of charges. What comparisons can you draw between that time and now? What has changed since then?\nOne broad concept that Coates introduces is that of “the Dream” and “Dreamers.” What do you understand these terms to mean? Why does Coates argue that he and other Black people are cut off from “the Dream”?\nDiscuss Coates’s definition of race\, and how it relates to racism.\nWhat surprised you most about the book? What will you take with you after reading it?\n\nQuestions take from: https://www.bookbub.com/blog \n*Please join us in the discussion on Tuesday\, even if you have not read or not finished reading the book. \nJoin the meeting here: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/hHYrmaQJSrm2a5ibMPQ7Pg
