You’re invited to read and discuss the second Antiracist Book Club selection for the 2022-23 academic year.
The Block 4-6 reading will be “
Sabrina & Corina: Stories.” Kali Fajardo-Anstine’s magnetic story collection breathes life into her Latina characters of Indigenous ancestry and the land they inhabit in the American West. Against the remarkable backdrop of Denver — a place that is as fierce as it is exquisite — these women navigate the land the way they navigate their lives: with caution, grace, and quiet force. “Sabrina & Corina” is a moving narrative of unrelenting feminine power and an exploration of the universal experiences of abandonment, heritage, and an eternal sense of home.
Please be aware that this book contains sensitive content including racism and suicide.
The ABC is meant to be self-led and asynchronous. We encourage you to create space to discuss these books and their topics in the communities you already inhabit (e.g., department meetings, athletics teams, student clubs/organizations, etc.) and at your own pace.
