The Making of Asian America by Erika Lee

“This pandemic is not the first time Asian Americans have found themselves at the receiving end of unwanted scrutiny, and this book chronicles these instances of persecution and more to create a fuller picture of the Asian American experience.”

A Life’s Work by Rachel Cusk

https://tinyurl.com/4dfrk7cj

“Cusk introduces her firsthand account of new motherhood as a book that will only appeal to mothers, and maybe she's right—I'm a mother who is recommending it, after all. But! There are a lot of mothers out there who will feel seen by Cusk's tenderness, melancholy, and humor.”

Locking Up Our Own (Crime and Punishment in Black America) by James Forman Jr.

https://tinyurl.com/mnf3hbxu

“An American tragedy. Forman explains how the lack of equity in police protection in black neighborhoods vs. white neighborhoods in the latter half of the 20th century created a set of demands that ultimately fuel the prison-industrial complex.”

Here’s a staff recommendation!

The Divorce by Cesar Aira

https://tinyurl.com/3jckb22c

“In this 2021 novella, a series of near-impossible coincidences spiral exponentially outwards, into memory and magic alike. Aira's work is an absurd celebration of the freedom inherent in all language.”
