Disparity Trap Book Club: Zora Neale Hurston
August 24, 2024When people read books, their identity plays a role in the way they interpret stories. How might we benefit from hearing the perspectives of others? What can we learn from readers and writers from a range of cultural experience? Join Dr. Sarah Trembath for a very special Disparity Trap book club, where we create space to address cultural nuances revealed in great storytelling and use literature as a catalyst for deeper conversations surrounding bias and modern disparity.
For this session of this book club, we will read Zora Neale Hurston’s short story compilation Hitting a Straight Lick with a Crooked Stick: Stories from the Harlem Renaissance. Come learn how this legendary writer simultaneously affirms Disparity Trap notions of systemic dominance and flips them upside down!
A special book club focused on the work of Zora Neale Hurston at the MLK Library in Washington, DC -
