this is the first time I'm hearing about Punching The Air but it sounds soooo good, I'm putting it at the top of my list for the next time I buy new books! I also just bought Clap When You Land and The Vanishing Half and I can't wait to read them, I've heard nothing but incredible things about both of them for months now.
YES I loved Punching the Air! definitely not getting enough attention I FINALLY read my first Jacqueline Woodson book last month and absolutely fell in love Feel free to ignore this if someone already mentioned this, but I'm pretty sure Carol Anderson the author of White Rage is a Black woman! Robin DiAngelo, the author of White Fragility, is a white woman Okay some of my recent favorites are I'm Still Here by Austin Channing Brown, Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky by Kwame Mbalia, Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson, and The Boy in the Black Suit by Jason Reynolds! (honestly anything by him!)
Yes! You are so right! When I was talking I was thinking of White Fragility when I said White Rage. The titles are so similar that I mixed them up but thanks for pointing that out. Also thanks for the recs. I definitely love Jason Reynolds. I haven’t read a book by him that I haven’t liked.
Need to read on the come up! Was excited about that one and then some how forgot for like two years so I’ll do that first but I’m super hyped about these other recommendations !!
Thanks for the recommendations. I think one also worth reading for your historical section is called Stamped:Racism, Antiracism and You by Ibram X. Kendi and Jason Reynolds . It is a very easy read and entertaining. He ( Reynolds) calls it a remix version .It centers of the evolution of racism broken into simplistic terms and includes recommended reading list . Definitely a must for anyone without knowledge and those seeking more knowledge on the historical inception of racism. Controversial also some school systems are petitioning to ban it. So it must be good.
you make me feel better about listening to audio books to understand what is going on with everything! I need subtitles for my movies and audio for my books!
All great books! I have quite a few of them on my tbr. Have you ever read A Raisin in the Sun by Lorraine Hansberry? It's a play, but it's one of my all time favorites (I dream of seeing it onstage someday)
@@aissataamadou You definitely should give it a read sometime! Or if you don't like reading plays, there is an old movie adaptation with Sidney Poitier!
Thank you so much for this!! My name is very close to yours, it’s Assata, and I really love to read. I loved to see this brought to light by a girl like me 🥺
✊ I have seen Punching the Air everywhere but wasn't sure if it was something I would like - but you definitely make it sound interesting. I'll have to check it out. And The New Jim Crow - my husband and I watched 13 last year and it was really eye-opening. This year I read Legendborn, and really enjoyed that, and I loved Genesis Begins Again - so heartbreaking and so powerful. I really want to get to The Vanishing Half and probably The Mothers as well. Maybe I'll read The Mother's first lol.
My tbr for February so far is When the Reckoning Comes LaTanya McQueen (the audio is stunning), Don't Cry for Me Daniel Black, and Razorblade Tears S.A. Crosby. I didn't intend for my reading this month to be so..sad. I need Black joy stories.

And I also agree with the lack of black Muslim representation, we deserve better representation 😤
PERIOD
@@aissataamadou Glad we're on the same page sister 😌
Definitely adding a lot to my tbr now. I really hope they have some of these at the library 🤞🏽
I hope you enjoy them :)
Cool I got a reading list now
