Our new Human Rights Watch Virtual Book Club series offers the chance to explore human rights issues through the lens of award-winning books sent right to your door.
Pairing leading authors with Human Rights Watch researchers, we’ll explore today’s pressing calls for social change around the world, touching on issues of race, democracy, misinformation and more, and featuring best-selling authors such as Afua Hirsch, Elif Shafak and Hisham Matar. If you haven’t already, do sign up here to join us today.
The first event, featuring best-selling author, barrister and journalist Afua Hirsch and Human Rights Watch's US Program Director Nicole Austin-Hillery, will focus on Afua’s Sunday Times bestseller, Brit(ish): On Race, Identity and Belonging – a powerful book that reveals the uncomfortable truth about race and identity in Britain today. The discussion will explore the denial that surrounds Britain’s imperial past and the racism that plagues its present, and offer an urgent call for change.
