Antrim's Anti-Racism Study Group

The Antrim Antiracism Study Group will be reading the novel The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett in June and July. Bennett is a young African American writer whose work has received recognition by the National Book Foundation's "35 Under 35" honorees. The Vanishing Half is the story of twin sisters and the different life choices each one makes. It covers multiple generations of a family over the decades from the 1950s to the 1990s, moving from the Deep South to Southern California. The theme of racial identity comes to light in a unique way in this story.

The book is organized in 6 sections - we will read Parts I, II, and III for June 16th and Parts IV, V, and VI for July 21st.

If you have questions or want to join the group, contact Linda Bundy at (603) 588-2254.

Coming in July:

NH Lakes and you! - Tues., July 12th at 6:30
Civil War Quilts - Thurs., July 14 at 6:30pm
