By Michael Bennett, David Zirin, Martellus Bennett (Foreword)
With a new introduction from Michael Bennett, this adaptation of his bestselling book Things That Make White People Uncomfortable is specifically geared for 12-17 year olds and will appeal to students, teachers and librarians looking for a book that seamlessly connects politics, personal narratives and sports. The original edition has already sold hundreds of copies to a high school audience and Michael has received letters from numerous young people about how much his book has inspired them and how much they have learned from it. This young adult edition will fill a gap for culturally relevant, politically progressive books that young people want to read because they are about well-known figures, especially athletes, they admire. Michael's unique voice translates well to young readers and this book is an excellent addition to any middle school classroom or home library.
