The Brave New World Book Club is a book club for anyone and everyone who is interested in reading and learning about experiences different from their own. Our goal is to learn from each other and grow through reading about varying perspectives.

“We’re the unknown Americans, the ones no one even wants to know, because they’ve been told they’re supposed to be scared of us and because maybe if they did take the time to get to know us, they might realize that we’re not that bad, maybe even that we’re a lot like them. And who would they hate then?”
― Cristina Henriquez, The Book of Unknown Americans

Our March pick is The Book of Unknown Americans by Cristina Henriquez. On Sunday, March 12 at 2PM Central Standard Time, we will meet in person and we will Facebook live to our online group to discuss the book. If you’re interested in the discussion, please join our group.

TRIGGER WARNING: This discussion WILL cover race and the immigrant experience, as those are the overarching themes in this book. Be prepared to be uncomfortable. Also know that this is a 100% safe environment, and the goal is for us all to learn from each other and grow as people. We will discuss ground rules before getting into the deeper discussion. Also, please join the FB group (link above) for more information and the discussion guide.

The club will meet in person at the store and will also “go live” on FB for those who can’t meet in person. This book club is open to anyone, anywhere, who wants to join in the discussion.

Looking forward to this discussion!
