WHITE by Aviva Rubin

"WHITE" by Aviva Rubin dives into the destructive power of hate and the complexities of fighting back against one's own upbringing. Through Sarah Cartell’s emotional journey of digging into hate and uncovering family secrets, readers explore the devastating impact of White supremacy, intergenerational trauma, and the courage it takes to choose empathy over division. The novel uses White supremacy to examine these issues, but any exclusionary, fundamentalist, extremist belief system functions much the same way.

This Reader’s Guide will help unpack the novel's challenging themes and encourage reflection on how these issues resonate in our current polarized world.
