One Book Read
Welcome to the One Book, One Community Initiative at the Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of Chicago! Our unique program, spearheaded by the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Office, invites all members of our community to come together through the power of reading. Each month, we delve into a new book that not only captivates and educates but also aligns with our commitment to fostering an inclusive and understanding environment.
Our selections span various genres, each offering a unique perspective that enriches our understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion. By exploring narratives that reflect different backgrounds, experiences, and challenges, we aim to promote empathy, broaden horizons, and encourage thoughtful discussions.
Join us in this enriching journey of learning and connecting. Whether you’re a voracious reader or just looking for a way to engage with the community, our One Book Read Initiative is a perfect way to broaden your perspective and contribute to a more inclusive world. Let’s turn the page together towards greater understanding and unity.
South Side
By Natalie Y. Moore
A lyrical, intelligent, authentic, and necessary look at the intersection of race and class in Chicago, a Great American City
In this intelligent and highly important narrative, Chicago-native Natalie Moore shines a light on contemporary segregation in the city’s South Side; with a memoirist’s eye, she showcases the lives of these communities through the stories of people who reside there. The South Side shows the impact of Chicago’s historic segregation – and the ongoing policies that keep the system intact.
Genres: Nonfiction, History, Race, Politics, Sociology, Social Justice
“A reminder that even though great gains have been made in the development of integrated neighborhoods and suburbs, Chicago is still shackled by the chains of segregation, chains that limit the potential of hundreds of thousands of African-Americans and impoverish the lives of all residents of the region…a clarion call for us to break the chains that bind us and allow our imaginations to be free to take on ― and change ― the systemic reality of segregation and its impact on all of us.” ―The Chicago Tribune
