These Nonfiction Books on Social Justice Cannot Be Ignored
Voices of vitality to lead the revolution.
Written by Jake Levyns
In any circumstance that warrants our participation in a greater cause, there are two things that are perhaps most important to covet: knowledge and perseverance. What goes hand-in-hand with this is educating yourself and others on what you may not know. The literature that exists on subjects like American history, feminism, and class norms serves as such a conduit for building a deeper understanding of the perspectives of those we cannot directly relate to. These select books that analyze said topics should thus be approached not just with an interest to learn more, but with the awareness that these conversations don’t end when the covers are closed, because we all have a responsibility to ourselves and affected communities to spread some tough love to those less willing to listen. Regardless, we think your personal libraries would look a whole lot better with these additions.
