In 2020, the Meriam Library Diversity and Inclusion Team facilitated a summer book club reading of the CSU Chico Book in Common, How to be an Antiracist, by Ibram X. Kendi.
Ibram X. Kendi's concept of antiracism reenergizes and reshapes the conversation about racial justice in America--but even more fundamentally, points us toward liberating new ways of thinking about ourselves and each other. Instead of working with the policies and system we have in place, Kendi asks us to think about what an antiracist society might look like, and how we can play an active role in building it. The MLDIT modeled discussion questions on the Growth Hack reading guide, and developed our own discussion questions. Please find our slide deck for each meeting below.
