Inclusion Book Club

UU Society of Geneva

Join Rev. Scot, Lisa Gades, and UUSG members and friends in a monthly exploration of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our meetings are on the third Tuesday of every month at 7pm; the next one is August 17. The next book will be Rage Becomes Her by Soraya Chemaly.

Anger in women and girls has long been less acceptable than anger in men and boys. And yet, anger is also a powerful signal that something is wrong, and action needs to be taken. Chemaly's book is important for anyone raised to suppress their anger and who now seeks to use it as a catalyst for change. See Chemaly's TED Talk here. UUSG will have a limited number of copies of the book available. Please check with Christine to learn more or to sign up at office@uusg.org. Zoom Meeting Link. If you visit uusg.org/calendar, and click on the event, the Zoom link will always be located there.

Full list of Books we will be discussing are below:

An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz 
Dunbar-Ortiz presents a history of the United States from the perspective of Indigenous peoples, highlighting our nation's colonialist policy. Not the history you learned in school.

Heartland: A Memoir of Working Hard and Being Broke in the Richest Country on Earth by Sarah Smarsh 
By telling the story of her life, Smarsh brings America's class divide into sharp focus. She gives voice to the many hard-working people whose labor we take for granted and who deserve better.
