A couple years ago I read a book (the title is escaping me), but I loved it and want more. It was a coming of age story with a first-year teacher and his young Black student who was struggling with school and fell in with a gang. Set in the Deep South, it tackles issues about race, policy brutality, and social justice.
I want to read more books that tackle these themes, preferably taking place in the Deep South.
Does anyone have any recommendations along these lines? Both fiction and non-fiction recommendations are welcomed! Thank you in advance!
