Resisting Dominant Narratives
In this hostile learning environment created by censorship and book bans, these LFJ book reviews encourage us all to keep reading—and writing—to counter the narratives that have historically excluded diverse perspectives. We resist the pressures of book bans and work to advance an expansive narrative that bolsters our dynamic, diverse democracy.
