  • Linguistic Justice; Black Language, Literacy, Identity, and Pedagogy
    6 “THUG LIFE” Bonus Chapter: Five Years After Leadership Academy The following is a passage from Angie Thomas’ award-winning young adult novel The Hate U Give (2017). That means flipping the switch in my brain so I’m Williamson Starr. Wil­ liamson Starr doesn’t use slang—if a rapper would say it, she doesn’t say it, even if her white friends do. Slang makes them cool. Slang makes her “hood.” Williamson Starr holds her tongue when people piss her off so nobody will think she’s the “angry black girl.” Williamson Starr is approachable. No stank-eyes, none of that. Williamson Starr is non-con­ frontational. Basically, Williamson Starr doesn’t give anyone a reason to call her ghetto. I can’t stand myself for doing but I do it anyway. —Starr, from the novel The Hate U Give In the passage, the protagonist Starr, a Black teenager who attends a pre­ dominantly white high school (Williamson) but lives in a predominantly Black community (Garden Heights), is describing how she navigates and negotiates her Black identity in a white space that expects her to perform whiteness, especially through her language use. Albeit fictional, Thomas’ depiction of Starr accurately captures the cultural conflict, labor, and exhaus­ tion that many Black Language-speakers endure when code-switching; that is, many Black Language-speakers are continuously monitoring and policing their linguistic expressions and working through the linguistic double consciousness they experience as a result of having to alienate their cultural ways of being and knowing, their community, and their blackness in favor of a white middle class identity.

  • “Other” Worlds Represented in Angie Thomas's the Hate U
    ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 7, ISSUE 13, 2020 “OTHER” WORLDS REPRESENTED IN ANGIE THOMAS’S THE HATE U GIVE P. Stephy Monisha Student, M.A. English Literature, Stella Maris College E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 2020 Revised and Accepted: June 2020 ABSTRACT: The Black Lives Matter movement gained momentum in 2020 as the headlines garnered international attention to George Floyd‟s murder as a result of police brutality. The heart-breaking reality is that this was not the first case but rather one among the series of black people killed due to excessive force exerted by the police. Angie Thomas in her novel The Hate U Give has portrayed the oppression, struggles, and fears of the modern day African-Americans broadening our perspectives on white supremacy and police brutality. The focus on Starr‟s personal life as an African-American who lives in a black community but studies amongst a dominant white population tactfully brings out the binary of the black and white communities. The psychological clash in Starr‟s mind metaphorically stands for the violent clashes of her two worlds. This paper attempts to study the „other‟ worlds represented in Angie Thomas‟s The Hate U Give by analysing the white supremacy, police brutality against black people and the race-related trauma experienced by the black people in the novel. KEYWORDS: Police brutality, violence, trauma, race, social media, oppression I. INTRODUCTION On May 25th 2020, the newspaper headlines reported the killing of George Floyd in police custody and the news made heads turn worldwide as it spread like rapid-fire through social media and the trending #blacklivesmatter.

    Summer Reading Booker T. Washington High School 2019-2020 Incoming Freshmen (Grade 9) All in-coming freshmen will read – The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas “Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed. Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name. Some cops and the local drug lord try to intimidate Starr and her family. What everyone wants to know is: what really went down that night? And the only person alive who can answer that is Starr. But what Starr does—or does not—say could upend her community. It could also endanger her life” (Goodreads). Or* All American Boys by Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely “Well, no, actually, a lady tripping over Rashad at the store, making him drop a bag of chips, was what started it all. Because it didn’t matter what Rashad said next—that it was an accident, that he wasn’t stealing—the cop just kept pounding him. Over and over, pummeling him into the pavement. So then Rashad, an ROTC kid with mad art skills, was absent again…and again…stuck in a hospital room. Why? Because it looked like he was stealing.
