Show by Rogue Librarians
We discuss The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, which was the fifth most frequently challenged book in America in 2021. First published in 2017, the book was a New York Times bestseller and the recipient of several awards, including the Michael L. Printz Award and the William C. Morris Award. In this episode, we discuss why Thomas's novel has been banned recently. We also offer our assessment of its pros and cons. Please listen to our fourth episode for a close reading of the book's characters, themes, and significance.
