This month's virtual First Thursday Book Discussion is part of our One Read program. Join members of the Journey Toward Inclusive Excellence Committee for a live online discussion of "The Resisters" by Gish Jen, the runner-up book for this year's One Read community-wide reading program. This novel is set in an eerily familiar and not-so-distant future, where the mostly-flooded AutoAmerica is strictly divided between the fair-skinned employed (Netted) and the darker-skinned unemployed (Surplus), with everyone’s actions closely monitored by Aunt Nettie. This is a clever, well-crafted novel about the construction of race, the surveillance state, the consequences of climate change…and baseball.
