Book Reviews of IF WE MUST DIE (Chaparral)
Book Review: Important reference to black history
Summary: 4 Stars
This novel introduces readers to the Tulsa race riots which occured in 1921. It also discusses the topics of racism, segregation, the KKK and more. Though I really enjoyed the book, my students (high schoolers with EBD) did not really seem interested. A few of them really enjoyed it, but most of them complained that they were bored (though they nearly always say that, even when they are sometimes interested). If you're looking for a different novel with a serious note, I would recommend this one. It does use some language that is offensive, but I forwarned students and explained how that was okay during that time period. We discussed why it isn't okay to use similar words today and how it makes people feel. Unfortunately, there is no audio recording of the book and no movie to follow up with, though there is a documentary on the Greenwood Riots from the History Channel.
