About This Page: Books for Adults
This page is a non-exhaustive list of books for adults related to anti-racism. In the "Adult" section, you will find nonfiction that focuses on general anti-racist information, racial identity, and the history of race in America. The "Educators" section features nonfiction with a specific focus on anti-racism as it pertains to K-12 pedagogy. While some of these books may be appropriate for classroom use, they have been selected with adult readers in mind.
To find a particular book, search the CVSD Destiny library catalog, the Cumberland County Library System, or purchase at bookshop.org or your favorite bookstore. (Note that with a few exceptions, most of the books are not available through CVSD libraries, as our focus is on collecting materials for our students.) If you have trouble locating any resource, or would like help finding or using information, do not hesitate to contact any CVSD librarian.
For assistance and follow-up with the content of the PD course, Racially Inclusive Practices in the Classroom, contact Maggie Bokelman or Erin Mengel.
