Black Berry, Sweet Juice: On Being Black and White in Canada by Lawrence Hill

5.0

I took this one slow & easy, reading it largely during the class reading time, and I loved it. Hill's prose is a joy to read - I used quite a few sentences as mentors for my students - and the combination of memoir and dialogue with others makes for a book that feels deeply thoughtful in its discussion of race and society. Hill's topics are driven by his personal interests and experience but informed by research and reality. I have bookmarked many pages & will share at least one short section with other teachers and possibly with students.
